Master Cylinder Rebuild
Posted on: Monday October 20, 2014

I forgot how fun these little British cars were; just might have to get another one.

It took some time, but I managed to get the two sections bent back and somewhat in place so the seal would work properly. I also have replace the clutch, brake and accelerator peddle pads. Installed a new...
