Just when you think you're winning

[PeterH]

As well as the Spitfire I have a 1979 Mini (alas not a Cooper). I've recently been tidying it up, new headlining, cleaned seats, carpets etc.

Just when you think you're getting somewhere.

I'm about to put the carpets back in when I notice an oily patch on the recently painted floor. Turns out its hydaulic fluid dripping down the clutch pedal. Oh pooh sticks ! !

If anyone knows Mini's they will know how easy it isn't to take the master cylinder out - or rather refitting the clevis pin joining it to the pedal.
