If you are looking for a quality and long lasting result when rebuilding a Lotus twin cam clutch slave cylinder, then stainless steel pistons play an important part in guaranteeing the result.
The original pistons had little or not corrosion protection and subsequently rust soild in the bore.
Stainless pistons will not seize up in the bore of the clutch slave cylinder.
Installing one of these components significantly extends the service life of the clutch slave cylinder.
Note carefully the bore size of 0.875" is unique to the Ford/Lotus twin cam engine and gearbox
Assembly tip
The rubber seal should be pressed onto the piston locating peg with the flared skirt pointing away from the piston body
When assembling the cylinder, it is advisable to lubricate the bore with rubber grease to allow the hydraulic seal and piston to enter easily.
