Job done 😬

Quoting Paul Richards: Quoting evotell: The internal slave cylinder on the Sigma has the bleed nipple below the cylinder. I don't think so. As far as I am aware the slave cylinder is around the input shaft in the middle of the bellhousing and the bleed valve is at the top of the bell housing. Terry Make sure you have plenty of travel on the brake pedal. You really need to push the master cylinder in to get it to pump fluid. Edited by - Paul Richards on 11 Mar 2014 20:32:09 The bradded inlet hose which come from the master cylinder is above the bleed nipple, how can that be correct when air rises? 😳

Quoting DJ.: As I understand it, the sigma clutch slave cylinder lies around the gearbox input shaft (concentric type). The bleeding nipple is at the top of the bell housing so well above that line. By the way, on my car if the bleed nipple is turned completely open, fluid runs straight through from master cylinder and out into a jar under the car. It makes for an easy fluid change, I just keep topping up the reservoir and wait Duncan Although the slave cylinder is at the top of the bell housing as you correctly said, the bleed nipple is below the cylinder, which is why its a struggle to bleed. The bleed nipple should always be above the cylinder.

Ok, Got some understanding why the clutch is lightly to be difficult to bleed. When you look at a brake calliper you will note that the bleed nipple is always at the top, because air rises to the surface. The internal slave cylinder on the Sigma has the bleed nipple below the cylinder, what were they thinking. Edited by - evotell on 11 Mar 2014 02:04:21

Quoting BigCol: Sorry if it's an obvious/patronising (you do know what patronising means, don't you? ) question... are you sure the bleed valve is *fully* open? That would explain the lack of fluid coming through. It's a bugger to get at and awkward to turn - bleeding difficult! (I too used an EeziBleed) YES. 😳 I think the issue is that the clutch master cylinder which has no fluid coming out it requires bleeding 1st.

Struggling with the Sigma clutch. Like most of the Sigmas its got the internal slave cylinder and the plastic bleed nipple which can be turned according to the build manual, clockwise & anti-clockwise, that's seems to work just fine, problem is I have no fluid moving through the system. I have pumped the peddle for a minute or so and nothings even coming out of the master cylinder. Any tips would be most appreciated.

Yes, could be interested, does it come with carbs and exhaust manifold? how much?
-
How much! 😳
-
From what I can gather it doesn't actually matter, all that changes is the position of the cable, you pull or push for heat

Thanks Tom

In the Caterham build manual it states that the bottom heater pipe goes to the back of the cylinder head, yet on many of the Sigma engine bay shots it show that the cylinder head outlet goes to the top pipe. Any suggestions?
-
Thanks guys.
-
Does any body know what the clearance is from the very top of the motor to the bonnet? I would be most grateful if someone could help me out. 😬

The CR500 is an R comp tyre, just look at the ware rate. Its the cold.

Quoting BBL: Terry, I just checked using "diff" and "oil" with the "search thread titles only" box checked, and it appears to me the search function here is working as intended. You are quite correct, It slipped my mind using the search facility Edited by - evotell on 21 Feb 2014 17:26:35

I have run the 9inch CSR rear wheels on my Hayabusa car, they look great but beat the sh-t out of the acceleration. The fronts wont fit as they are a different offset Edited by - evotell on 21 Feb 2014 12:40:33

What are you guys running in the diff, as the book says EP90, which also isn't avaiable here?

Quoting Martin Jeffrey: my youngest Daughter (9 at the time) was very proud to fit the map sensor pipe on my build. I just couldn't my plates of meat big fingers down the gap to the nipple on the throttle body. Her slender hand accomplished the task in seconds. Nice story

On the lhd Duratec chassis (low peddle box) there are 3 pipes that come out of the M/S reservoir 2 at the bottom,1 at the top, which one goes where on the Master Cylinder.
-
The recommended EP80 oil is not available in Canada, is anybody else using something different?
-
Found it. Thanks Chris
-
its a 125, the book indicates that it connects to the throttle body, but for the life of me I cant see any where for it to connect.
-
On the map sensor for the Sigma there's a small pipe that appears to have some type of hose fit to it. Does anybody know where it goes to?
