American item perhaps?  I am assuming it would be no different??

I got mine from Ebay USA. Though I bought the master and slave at the same time as it was as cheap to do that as to buy a slave cylinder over here.

brought one from zapparts via ebay usa.... £37 delivered, all plumbed in today and bled but still no pressure... in fact the clutch pedal is now sucking itself down !  Any ideas???

What condition is the Master cylinder in? I changed the slave on mine thinking it was the problem only to find the Master was leaking too.

externally it looks fine, but i ve yet to remove it to check further.  I guess i ll have to order the master as well now!  Should have taken the advice and ordered both at the same time :2Rolleyes

Mine looked fine from the outside too. I only ordered the pair cause it was as cheap as buying one or the other over here. Turned out to be a good move! The flexi hose is another place that is common/prone for leaks. The one from the bulkhead to the slave cylinder. Some people change it for a braided hose. Think someone has used an MX5 brake hose as a cheap replacement iirc.

After feeling like a contortionist with my head in the drivers footwell taking out the nuts to replace the clutch master cylinder, a new slave cylinder, plenty of fresh DOT4 fluid and much bleeding later... i have a working rx7 again!  and a smile on my face////:Giggle   God i love backing off the throttle at 4.5k and scaring passers by with the overrun pops and bangs!:Tongue1

Think he means one of the top four studs that mount the shock to the strut under the bonnet.

[TiddlesRX7]

Arn\'t they just a standard M8 or something around that.l

Thats the one... no idea if they are standard sizes or not?!

[TiddlesRX7]

Think they are like M8 x 30mm or something like that. Is the thread ok in the shock top plate?
