If you mean the plastic connections to the pipes going to the reservoir, then they push into rubber grommets on the top of the cylinder. They are a bit of a pig to get out.
I got my kit from parts for saabs, had all the correct parts, including new grommets for the reservoir connections.

Thanks Pete
Spare master cylinder now stripped, 'gun turrets' removed, would be nice to replace any ideas where I could get replacements?
One minor problem - there was a little 'T' piece in the reservoir connection farthest away from the servo but i didnt take a photo. When I went to remove the second half of the piston it jumped out so I'm not 100% sure exactly where it was fitted, I can check in due course when the M/C on the car is removed but would be good to know now. Did it retain the second piston?

'T' Piece

The T-piece is to retain the inner piston. You should see a hole in the master cylinder housing where it fits, I think this in the recess under the mounting grommet of the "gun turret" closest to the servo, where the oil flows into the cylinder.
When you re-assemble it, you insert the first spring and inner piston, push it into position then insert the T piece to retain the piston in place.

If you can't get them Norman just get some parts washer fluid and give them a good soak, they will come up as good as new.Machine Mart do 5 litres of parts washer concentrate for about £11, you have to dilute it with water it lasts quite a while. Stick them in a jamjar and give them a damn good shake.

If they are my old ones think its not so much they are grubby but are distorted by the "jubilee clips". Maybe some of those crimp on "o" clips would be better / neater ?
