I have a 1275 in a bugeye. The master is the original 7/8 on both bores. It has a diaphragm spring clutch installed and worked by a 7/8 bore slave. All the parts are new, including bushings, pins, forks, etc. The car is not yet running. I found the pedal effort to work the clutch was too high to be comfortable; I doubt my wife could drive it.
I just got a 1275 slave with 1" bore and attempted to install it. Surprise, the fittings are different and the metal pipe bugeye fitting with the balloon end is too small. Looking in the Moss catalog it seems the 1275 slave mates to a flex hose. I assume the hose seals to the slave with a copper washer, correct? It does look like the slave will accept a compression fitting of the correct size though.
What do I need to attach my metal bugeye pipe to the 1275 slave? If I buy the hose will the bugeye fitting attach to the other end? Please don't tell me I have to unscrew the bugeye line from the master. The master connections are impossible to get at with the master installed.
In a perfect world there would be some kind of an adapter that matches the bugeye compression fitting to the slave body. I'm going crazy with this thing. I need something to go right.
