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?

First piston


second piston


'T' Piece

Valid point the connectors on the 'turrets' and the reservoir are all distorted by the clips will have to find a better way, perhaps your clips. Any idea where they cane be purchased?
