[DeTomaso] Clutch Slave Options

Is it a stock slave cylinder or an aftermarket long throw?  I just rebuilt my stainless steel long throws, I purchased the seals from Pantera East.  Don't know if anythings available for the stock slave.

Not worth the trouble IMHO. There is no true kit for either the stock 
master or slave. What's often recommended is a 'kit' for a late '60s Chevy truck 
slave, or a FIAT 850, or some other adaption in which you use selected parts 
but not all. And if there are pits in the cylinder, they will promptly tear 
up any new seal. Honing the pits out often enlarges or 'barrels' the bore 
to the point that-again- a new seal will not hold pressure. Brass or 
stainless sleeving from White Post Restorations or the like works but costs about as 
much (sometimes, more) than a new non-corrodable stainless or aluminum 
slave from some of the vendors. Still want to try? Go to <www.tmich.com> and 
click on 'parts cross-reference'. Good luck- J Deryke
