My first time on forum , so go easy out there...
Does anyone know the actuating rod lengths of :
1)A C9798 (or now C24147) for an 80mm body slave cylinder.
2) A C24148 used on Hydrostatic 95 mm body Slave cylinders if still available? ....(and if different to a C24147 ?)
Thanks ,Nigel

Hi..dont know the answer but there are at least 2 different length pushrods 100mm and 82mm... however the ends on the pushrods that connect to the clutch fork also come in different lengths......best to work out what length you need to operate your clutch....and go from there......search on slave pushrod..lots here on the forum....Steve

Hi Nigel...if you call your prefered suplier with those part numbers they should be able to tell you the push rod length...bear in mind that if buying from ebay etc the dimensions of a partticular part number may not be the same...Steve

Hi Nigel, I hope you feel Steve is being gentle with your first post
This might help explain a lot about the slave cylinders:

Found through a search and then following other links within the results. I hope it can help a bit, though you may have come across it already.

Thanks Chaps,
I thought I would start with the forum to give it a go.
Vendors probably my next stop. Its not stoping me achieving anything but would like to know (what length rods were /are meant to be ) given all the other potential variables.
