NonMember Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 My not-always-reliable memory tells me that number 11 has always been facing the other direction in every master cylinder I've ever done. Its purpose, I believe, is to hold the spring, 12, away from the end of the bore so that the inner plunger, 9, can be pulled back when fully released, against spring washer 18, thus opening the seal, 8, to allow fluid recovery. Edit: In fact... Item 3 in the above diagram from the Herald/Spitfire/Vitesse WSM looks like your item 11 the other way round? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Cox Posted August 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Thanks for comments chaps,its finding the "right" rubber overhaul kits that's a bit of a nightmare. Not being xenophobic/racist call it what you like but the chinese dross that is everywhere now is not worth putting in the cylinders,luckily chatting to poppyman found a few sources of decent components to use or people who refurb to a high standard.Its why joining a forum is worth its weight in midget gems and other sweeties I still like.The diagrams are essential if doing it yourself cos if theres a wrong way of doing it I will find it 😳Just a matter of patience,dexterity ,knowledge and good looks!! Even one of those would be a bonus!!So things to do and decisions to make,thinking cap descends on the coconut👍Thanks,Clive Cox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
