Recently while visiting the AF1 Futura forum, I saw an interesting thread about replacement clutch master / slave seals (common to both Futura & Caponord) sourced in the UK at a very good price and thought the information well worth sharing here.
The thread was started by a UK owner – Corsehf (Andy) in which he quotes replacements for all the master / slave cylinder seals from one supplier. Seal details and individual prices are:
- Master Cylinder Seal – Lever End: SU12-6.9-4DE-EP-S-DK101 – £2.50
- Master Cylinder Seal – Spring End: SU12-5.2-3.8-EP-S-DK106 – £2.50
- Clutch Slave Cylinder Main Seal: SU112078-018DE-EP-S-DK101 – £2.79
- Clutch Slave Cylinder Piston Pushrod Seal: SS8-16-7-SC – £1.60
That’s a total of £9.39 + Vat = £11.27 plus package & post. So for somewhere around the cost of one genuine slave cylinder seal, we can buy ALL the seals needed for a full clutch system rebuild. Not bad in my books! If you’re interested, call Rebecca Pattinson at FPE Seals on 01325 282732 or email: [email protected] If you do decide this is for you, then please drop by the thread and offer Andy your thanks …. he’s just saved you a pocket full of money!
So I’ll end with a big thank-you to Andy, then get a set on order and nip into the barn to dig out that old master cylinder and finally get it re-coated and re-sealed, then swap it for the brake fluid damaged one on the Raid ….. oh happy days! That things been bugging me for years.
Thank you for posting this information. I’ll be sure to stop by the thread and mention it. This is golden, since it is incredibly hard to find good replacements state-side. I hope I can manage to make the purchase and have it shipped!
