Girling Slave Cylinder

zimmy · #1 (**permalink**) 03-10-2003, 07:52 AM

I am getting desperate. I am looking to replace the clutch slave cylinder on my Contemporary 427. I currently have a Girling slave cylinder mounted to the rear of the block behind the Lakewood bellhousing. It is mounted with a custom bracket. There is very little space for any alternatives. What I need is a Girling Slave cylinder No. 64677019. Does anyone have a source for this cylinder???

Hey zimmy,

Dunno about part numbers, but have you tried

BP Northwest

or

Essex

or

Old but maybe useful - search for Girling

and of course you've asked Enzo or Paula at Finishline

Hope this helps,

I have a brand new unused slave as shown in frankym's photo above. 25.00. Brand new in the box!

Zimmy, you can buy the replacement at NAPA. It was like $200. I chose the rebuild kit ($20) which consists of a new seal, boot, spring and plunger. That fixed my problem.

Sounds like I have the same mounting as you do. I remember posting on this a while back--when I was actually changing mine. We searched the NAPA brake cylinder catalog and eventually found the right unit.

frankym:

Thanks for the help. I purchased the one you showed me from Frontline but it doesn't fit. Not enough clearance to the frame tube.

bmalone:

Thanks. I have also come to the decision to just rebuild mine. Not hard - just thought I would replace the whole thing new since it has been 12 years on the old one. I'll try NAPA but no one in the old sports car business seems to even know what my cylinder came out of. I'll try to post a picture of the slave cylinder and mounting bracket to see if you have the same by chance. Thanks again.

Zimmy,

Try part# Girling 64967010 ( from contemporary build manual)

Zimmy, I tried to find the old post about this because I believe I mentioned what page in the NAPA catalog to find the right one. Couldn't find it.

Take yours to NAPA and have them look in the brake cylinder catalog. They will ask what it came out of--just tell them they won't find it that way. They need to go right to the catalog and find all the Girling slave units. Once there, there is a small picture of each one. It will be clear as a bell when you find the right one.

You just have to find a guy who is willing to take the time to do it. It will also go against the grain of how he typically looks things up.

Lastly, they had to get my rebuild kit from another place and it did take until the next day to get it--but it did come and I was happy

I am holding one of the 64677019 slave cylinders in my hand. Funny thing though, the box it came out of says 64967010, Lucas Girling. May try the second number, it may have been superseded. Good luck.
