Steven Polden Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi I'm refurbishing the master cylinder on my TR2, once I put the front plate on, the springs don't have enough 'spring' to return the piston when pushed in. The rubber seal at the end of the pushrod by the end plate seems to be the offending item, really, really tight to fit. Is this just a poor fitting repair kit or am I missing something/they are meant to be like that? Both sides are the same I've lubricated with fresh brake fluid etc, and the rest has gone together fine Also the bellow seems to have two retaining rings, I assume this are no longer available so was thinking I could just wire these on Any advise appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Could the bores of the master cylinder be corroded? Rebuild shops typically rebore the cylinders (with stainless) Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steven Polden Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 thanks the bores are in good condition. I think I'll try a refurb kit from PastParts rather than the Moss one I have Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Why not just send it to Pat parts and get them to refurb it. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
