TR2/3/3A New member and newbie question on TR3 clutch

Share this page

I don't have an expensive paint job to protect, but I still love DOT 5 brake fluid. Just not having to replace it every few years is worth the price of admission IMO, but it also makes the seals & cylinders last much longer. And you'll never see this with DOT 5:

But I suppose it does depend on how much you like working on the brakes :smile:

I also like the stainless lines, if you get good quality ones. I didn't much like the Stag ones from Rimmers, but the TR3 ones from TSi seemed very nice and have worked perfectly for many years now.
 
Can you give me more detail on the lines you use? TSI? Did a goodle search but couldn't find them. Which ones does Moss sell? Thanks.
 
TSI would be a good source, I use Goodridge on mine - not sure if that is what Moss sells here, but they do sell them in UK.

MOSS does supply the Goodridge lines.....
 
I remember a vehicle that had a similar problem to what you are having and it was a long time ago. The problem was that the clutch dick was put in backwards. I think it was a spitfire however. Anyway, the peddle would hit rock hard about an inch from the floor. I cannot remember if the car would go into gear or not, or if the springs rubbed on the flywheel.

I also have Goodridge (had to look) stainless brake and clutch hoses which I probably got from Moss. Castrol is currently in the system. Silicone will be going in when something gets redone. From what I read it sounds like it can be a little more difficult to bleed, but it has a longer life and does not eat stuff. And I am not crazy about working on brakes even though that was the first thing I did when I got the car. But, the first day I started it I also drove it even though the stuck clutch plate made it a little more exciting than I had hoped for.
