Peelie Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Good Evening all. Please could you you give me some advice regarding the brake master cylinder I have just removed from my 73 TR6. It has been leaking so after reading a few old topics decided to send it off to past parts for a refurb instead of a new replacement as it sounds like they are not that reliable. Having removed it I am not convinced it is an original cylinder unless someone can tell me different so therefore is it worth refurbishing. Any comments gratefully appreciated Regards Barry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c.hydes Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Looks like an original Girling to me. Had the same problem a few months ago, leaking from the rear seal and some fluid had seeped into the servo. I used Past Parts as well, they fitted a stainless sleeve and then bored it back to the original dimensions. They also replaced all other seals, including the seals on the reservoir/lid cover which I returned to them, and re-silver electroplating the body. Returned in two weeks, now fitted, all lines blead and works like new. Would highly recommend Past Parts. Colin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
