hey
the master cylinder is slowly leeking where it joins the brake booster on the panel. What is needed to do replace it all together or specific parts to fix it?
cheers

I don't really know rhys but I have a cracked seal in my master cyliner and the (mechanical) advice I have been given is that reconditioning will cost as much as replacement, but mine is a dual circuit.
Dual curcuits are about the 150-170 mark, currently looking for a cheaper replacement where as the single circuit cylinder are apparently around the 40 dollar mark.

Before you commit to replacing, check out overhauling the existing one using a stainless sleeve.
A re-sleeved one will last forever because the rubbers can be replaced cheaply but the killer is rust pits in the bore- something that can't happen with SS.

Rhys, i have a resleaved (dual) body which is longer than my type1 or 3 so might be from a bus, give me some measurements between the ports and length.
