Does the clutch have to be bleed to work?
Could some one get a photo of the attachments on the Line from the cylinder to the reservoir please?

And the engine is sounding a lot noisyer then what it was before.

Does that ^^ sound like tappets or something else aswell. The last bit, noise is coming for the pulley & belts area??..

Yeah bleed it. Line goes from master across firewall back over top gearbox then into slave. With various spots being clamped on box and firewall. Sorry I had to do braided line that runs round front for mine so cant use mine as reference

Mine is clashing with the engine . The selector arm has fuckall movement. As though its jammed or something 8O
What's do u guys think about my idea of making up a bracket plate with the holes cut for the pedal then bolting to the fire wall? Will it work?

Ok can you take a pic of what damage is already? Your idea may work but remember the rod still has too reach pedal and have movement And pedal bracket is what holds master in place. Will need proper bleed to make fork work same principle as brakes hydraulics
