Bought a pressure bleed kit from EuroCarParts and sorted it all out this afternoon
Well done!
I'm in the market for a pressure bleed kit. Which one did you buy and did it come with suitable caps for both the clutch and the brake master cylinders?

Now kind of evaluating if the I want to install the MGMania slave brace. The bending of the slave mounting bracket is kind of scary... Anyone else notice it?

My car was built in 1998 & has done more than 125,000 miles, although I’ve been conscious of the problem, such as it is, since I started to look at the MG horror channel on YouTube, you would think the roads would be lined with our cars suffering from failed mounts by some of the fuss. I’ve never been moved to buy or make one, although I can understand why folk would be inclined to do so.
Nor have I seen any reports of improvements by fitting one.
If you go for it please report back with your before & after impressions.

A reinforcement mod is on my to-do list (before the summer I hope).

The main problem is that the clutch release arm progressively gets stiffer as corrosion builds up between the steel arm and alluminium gearbox housing. This puts pressure on the slave cylinder which causes undue pressure on the mounting bracket until either the slave cylinder or the bracket fails.

I’ve not heard of it as being a problem on the F/TF but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did.
Some models of Holden Commodores had such a bad problem with firewall flex around the master cylinders that the police specified double thickness firewalls for their cars!
