    Thanks chaps.

    This is WAY better.

    After a look through my spares, I remember now. I replaced my seals as a precaution when I had the engine out in 2019.

    The old ones must have been nigh on 20 years old, and actually looked fine; I've still got the old ones kept as spares. I bought the new ones from Rally Design in Kent. 11.88 inc vat, and I collected them as I was down ...

    I put together my concentric before I discovered Burton Power, so chose the Ford version as being a good deal cheaper at the time, than the SAAB one. I've no idea if the seals are a repairable item. I suspect not, and one just buys a complete new unit.

    Possibly Anam

    Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but you can have a poke around the site?
    AFAIK it's the same c#ap as ebay but without the middlemen.
    The only catch is you need to spend £15 for free postage.

    The last one mentions Viton, you might want to check chemical compatibility lists but IIRC the material of choice for normal brake fluids, if that's what you're using, is EPDM.

    Bill, I had no problem with the clutch but had to shorten the brake pushrod. Several years ago now I did mine so hard to remember but I think some people drilled a small hole in the seal which the originals had but these didnt.

  • anamnesis21 June 2025

    Yep, this is better. 15 quid plus vat plus delivery. Which in the end is only 3 quid cheaper.

    There are a number of 'us' who have this Saab type concentric slave in their T9 conversion. So hopefully this will be useful information.

    But everything is an arm and leg these days. Almost 6 quid to pos...

    I remember having to shorten the pushrods to allow the pistons to fully return, but that was in a 948 pedal box. I presume the 1098 pedal box is the right size for a 3/4" m/c.

  • anamnesis21 June 2025

    Looks like I can easily get new seals on Ebay.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295206885681


    But I baulk at paying 28 quid for 3 o rings.

    Pretty sure thereis a cheaper option.

    As others have said, find a slim spanner. Having a selection of spanners helps and even cutting the length a cheapy one with a hacksaw can be useful. Long brass nuts, particularly for the centre studs, part number 51K1177 are available from a range of suppliers e.g.
