As seen in an earlier post, when attempting to remove the clutch pipe from the slave cylinder, the clutch pipe snapped off right by the bolt connection on the end. I pulled the SS clutch line and hooked it directly to the slave cylinder, but the line was too close to the exhaust.
I bought a replacement clutch pipe from DMC Houston and installed it. When I went to bleed the system, the clutch pipe started leaking badly at the connection with the SS clutch line. I must not have tightened it enough. It now works flawlessly. Here is a picture of the new clutch pipe attached to the slave cylinder:
Much more space between the clutch pipe and the exhaust now compared to when the SS clutch line was hooked directly to the slave.
Here is a picture of the old clutch master and slave cylinders once they were removed:
The DeLorean clutch master was a Girling and the slave cylinder says Bendix. The slave still worked great, but I decided to replace both since they were originals. I don't want to repeat this job for as long as possible.
Below is a picture of the new clutch master installed. This was taken after it had been there for a few months:
