@Rob Fridenberg hope you figured out the bleeding issue. Is the Alfa Romeo slave cylinder you installed working now?
I was looking closer at my extra Alfa Romeo clutch slave cylinder alongside my disassembled original Pantera slave cylinder, and I don't think the Alfa version (https://centerlinealfa.com/cat...ave-cylinder-115-119) mentioned in this thread and other related threads on this forum will work. The Alfa slave is, as you mentioned earlier, about 12mm, shorter than the Pantera version. I confirmed with my own measurements (see pics below). I think the Alfa slave will have too short of a throw to properly operate the clutch. I've not seen anyone in the past mention actually using the Alfa Slave cylinder in my search of this forum or the email list archives. It would be nice if it does work as they don't seem to have quality issues and are made in Italy vs who know where for the Pantera versions.
Has anyone successfully used the Alfa Romeo Slave with its shorter throw? Maybe the Pantera slave piston doesn't need the full travel of the longer cylinder?
I just ordered a Pantera "original replacement" version from one of our vendors hoping I get lucky, and it doesn't leak on me shortly after installing. At the same time I may send my original slave cylinder to White Post for a rebuilt with non-iron insert installed. They have a lifetime guarantee and I could move on to dealing with other parts of the Pantera : )
