Van Diemen Chat

[adermard]

I watched your video about the clutch conversion and I am trying to reach out for help. I have a 97k that is owned by a friend of mine and I am trying to do the same thing. I would love to compare notes. I am looking for more clearance. It's tight. Also looking to know if you did anything about the crazy oil sealing system. I have 3D printed a part in carbon that will replace the oil seal tube in my car because someone mucked up the end and the o-ring no longer seals. Tons of RTV. Similar mess to what you had. Message me if you can chat about the car. thanks. Are you on Apex Speed?

Sure, I'm on apexspeed as "Spengo", here is my thread on the subject: https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?95406-Van-Diemen-clutch-slave-cylinder I had to delete most of the pictures though as the space is pretty limited on that forum. I ended up just using a lot of RTV myself, in particular to replace the really narrow and large-diameter o-ring that goes around the outside which never worked for me no matter how perfectly I seated it. My test method was to put a cap on the AN fitting where you drain the oil and fill the tank with oil while the car was still broken in half. Then I left it for a night and inspected it thoroughly for any leaks afterwards. That way you're not taking the car apart and putting it back together a bajillion times which is something I did the first few times haha.
