Clutch master cylinder

(1/4) > >>

Jimbo:

The master cylinder has started leaking, fluid is dribbling down the clutch pedal !

Should I get a brand new one (£20 for a Lucas part), get a pattern part (£10) or get the repair kit (£2) and replace the seals etc ?

I spent a while rebuilding a master cylinder on a MGB once, after doing it once it still leaked, so I did it again - still leaked, and then I found that the piston bore was scored.........so ended up buying a new one anyway  :roll:

IMO Lucas part, job done

Yep, I'd fairly well convinced myself of that too - might try the local stealers/independant tomorrow, otherwise I'll have to pay for delivery from Paddocks.

buy shiny stuff from paddocks, get the price to over £50, free delivery, everybodys happy(exept the bank manager) ;)

Saffy:
There is a old grease monkey tale that more often than not the slave will go shortly after a new master is fitted. New master with increased pressure will expose any weakness in an old slave.  It has happened to me before. May be worth changing it out at same time so they both the same age and you'll only have to bled it just the once.
