Girling clutch master cylinder springs

[Pupp]

I know seal kits are readily available but anyone ever sourced replacement inner springs for the Girling master cylinders (like on the Griff and Chim)?

[Simon says]

Hi Pupp does this help? http://www.canleyclassics.com/uploadedpics/fullsiz... and see these http://www.moss-europe.co.uk./ but you will probably need to ring them to find what you seek

[Pupp]

Cheers, that might well help; will give them a bell

Gents,

Best of wishes to you both.

Paul,has your master cylinder failed?I'm sure mine has......again.The seals are ste in them and keep failing,I have put 2 new ones one mine in the last 2 years and if I replace it again that's 6 in 8 years!

I have just re-sealed mine part of preventive maintenance after 7 years since my last r-eseal and my inner return spring was broken not available in the repair kit I at to purchase a new old stock classic Vauxhall brake master kit off Ebay to get the spring

[Pupp]

C'mon, keep up

Thanks Gary but I got the correct seals in the deal for free really along with the spring for £6 to the door off Fleabay

Just when you're standing there, with the toes of your left foot poking over the edge and your right leg ready to make the jump out, the sunlight bursts out upon your tired, old face.

Thanks chaps !

Pupp, I think it's gonna take me a week to work out what to order from that page but THANKS for posting it.

Sunset beckons.
(just wish I had a flippin' clutch)

Oh, and by the way, I asked for a new clutch to be fitted to the car when I bought her at 32K. It lasted 40K and since then I've replaced every component on subsequent fails, spanning 30K.

The reservoir continually 'picks up' failing seal debris so I just hope that it's the Master this time round.
Do you think that different hydraulic oil specs attack the seals more rapidly ?
I have 4.0 in at the mo'.

Paul
I have been told that synthetic fluid destroys the seals,i have put 3 clutch-master cylinders on my Cerb in the last 3 years,i used DOT 5 last time but its no better than DOT 4 and i have been recommended to use DOT 4.
