master cylinder repair kits

[rae80inch]

hello does any body know who is the cheapest place to buy master cylinder 7/8 repair kits thank you ,rae

[youngcamper]

is that for an early or a later car ?

[chrisryder]

early i think. aren't later ones 9/16ths?

i've no idea where you can get seal kits for either!

[charlie_morris_minor]

shouldn't the question be "best" not "cheapest"?

[chrisryder]

just to correct myself, later ones are actually 13/16ths.

[d_harris]

Dont the normal sellers supply them? I imagine they would all be much the same

Generally felt to be 'unwise' to fit new seals - the bore is often badly rusted in the area where the seals don't run. Just get a new cylinder and be sure it will be reliable (and safe!) for many years to come.......

[kennatt]

as bm says the bores are usually damaged and when you bleed the brakes the n ew rubbers are pushed onto the damaged area and they then get damaged and fail very soon afterwards put a new cylinder in the hard work is getting the cylinder out so why take the chance
