ABOUT US
SYMPTOMS OF FAULT
Brake / clutch fluid leaking from the coupler (under the passenger side wheel arch), loss of pressure under the clutch pedal, clutch pedal floppy / to the floor, squeaking clutch pedal (this can be a side affect of the leaking fluid)
THE FAULT
It is extremely common for the coupler on the clutch hydraulic pipe to fail
The metal / plastic coupler that connects the two clutch pipes from the reservoir to the slave cylinder often deteriorates and fails. This is a very common fault, the coupler is a very poor design, the loss of hydraulic / brake fluid will lead to a loss of pressure in the clutch system and result in the clutch pedal being floppy or flat to the floor.
Another symptom is a squeaky clutch. The loss of fluid in the slave cylinder can cause the slave to make excess noise.
THE SOLUTION
Very simply install our marine grade stainless steel coupler and permanently fix this fault
Until now the only solutions on the market were simple metal or plastic couplers from plumbing warehouses. These have their own inherent faults for this automotive application. Or replacement of the entire clutch pipe and slave system which would be a time consuming and unnecessary repair.
Our parts are purpose manufactured for this application.
The X8R kit is the most comprehensive kit on the market and consists of a new connector manufactured from 316 marine grade stainless steel, the most durable material on the market for this component. Will not corrode or deteriorate like other parts offered.
The X8R kit also includes a full fitting kit including amalgamating tape to protect the joint and keep out contaminates, anti-leak crush rings (supplied within the connector), 316 marine grade stainless steel pipe inserts to strengthen the inside wall of the existing clutch pipes and a bleeding hose to assist in bleeding the clutch system from any trapped air or excess fluid without mess.
The X8R kit also contains comprehensive instructions supplied via QR code on the packaging (can also be accessed online) and a handy and easy-to-follow YouTube video.
