Re: break master cylinder
Is it the same master cylinder as was fitted before or a replacement? A friend had bought what he thought was a new old stock minor cylinder and it was sitting high like yours and was told it was from a riley 1.5 or wolseley.

Re: break master cylinder
it does not look to be the correct one to me.. this is a picture of one from ebay which looks correct to me..[frame][/frame]
Re: break master cylinder
The cylinder should sit below the top of the chassis box section so something is wrong!

Re: break master cylinder
Definitely looks like the wrong master cylinder to me too.

Re: break master cylinder
Sure it's not just the angle of the shot? Is the body of the cylinder below the floor - and just the cap sticking up slightly?
Re: break master cylinder
When you replace it put the bolts the right way round!

Re: break master cylinder
If nothing else, the cap looks wrong.
If it works OK I'd use some strips of thick rubber to make a gasket which would lift the cover up enough to fit.

Hello everyone
Thank you very much for the help and sorry for the delay, worked all wekend,
the master cylinder sits on the chassis leg so there s no way to lower it more, i took the car apart 5 years ago and this one was on it.I am not sure if he was this hight. i Have replased the chassi leg and when i was fitting the master cylinder i start seeing that he sits to high,the top cover is not even fitting right,mabe is the rong one.
does anyone know the size of the other model?

Re: break master cylinder
Might have been an error in replacing the chassis leg?
