49brill Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Hi Thanks for the welcome I am joining the forum in the desperate hope of finding spares. I have owned an Ex-Greyhound bus for the past 20yrs. It Is a 1949 ACF Brill with a Hall Scott 790 cu.in. petrol engine. I believe this is similar to an engine fitted to an American amphibian vehicle. I am trying to find a clutch slave Cly. or one similar to it. Its a Bendix 1-1/4" dia. with a 2-3/4" stroke if anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.

If so, my suggestion is to have it sleeved in stainless steel to original bore size. I have a good number of cylinders done in this way over a year, by a specialist business, who also supply and fit the seals. They end up better than original.

Tony B Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 welcome Steve, try Pastparts they do a rebuild service reline with stainless steel. did a superb job on a Bedford QL master cylinder, half the cost of a new one, if we could have found it. http://www.pastparts.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49brill Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thanks a lot Guys especially Richard & Tony, for the quick response, I will contact 'Past parts' when they open. Sounds like the way to go. Just out of curiosity has anyone heard of the Hall Scott engine? I will post this on the American thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
