    Def 300tdi slave pipes

    I will have to fit the ftc5072 slave coming and try the flexi ntc9055 fitted direct to it .. no choice as the metal pipe wont fit the flexi . ... just hope the 5072 slave has the same port as the 5202 slave that's fitted at the min . Or I'm screwed if the flexi won't fit 5072 direct . There...

    gear change very hard

    Mats out just gives a bit more travel . like mine it had sound proofing , standard mating and then a rubber mat on top , so its a bit of height to stop the pedal . And the S+A is much cheaper than what i was using . A lot though swear by redline , Hopefully you will get a good result with the...

    pedal boxes

    ps do you adjust the rod so that when you push against the m/cyl spring resistance and it touches the piston , and then give clearance . Or with the spring relaxed pushing the rod out the m/cyl , and then add more clearance . if you understand me ?

    mine is the flat bar pedal and the the adjuster is 1/2 way up and it has the spring assist spring ....... the one ive ordered on checking the pt Num looks to be the type with the bolt adjuster lower down , pedal stop adjuster . I may be wrong and its the same as ive ordered for a 96 def 300tdi...
