2.7 TD Maverick Clutch Slave Rear Pipe

[GHDirect]

Hi all.

My old 97 Maverick has just coughed up a clutch pedal fault with increased pedal travel. Quick look showed master cylinder lose of fluid but no evidence, so I looked underneath. All looks good at slave cylinder but I noticed the extra pipe that runs to the rear of the vehicle is corroded in one place and that's where my fluids going. Before I take out this pipe at the slave connection and find a suitable bolt/nut seal. Does this extra pipe actually do anything, as I have never seen such a thing on any other vehicles.

Regards

No it does not do a lot, some say it stops noise but not seen any evidence to that effect, blank it, Rick

I blanked mine on an old truck didn’t spoil the operation of the clutch but I did notice a definite noise and small vibration but this was only when operating the clutch. I just lived with it.

What is the best way to blank this off.?

Some use a bolt (can't remember the thread type/size) but I used a brake pipe compression end stop connector.
