914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Small master cylinder leak

Posted by: PanelBilly Sep 2 2011, 07:36 PM

Small amount of fluid coming from rubber plugs that connect the line to the mc. System has been dry for awhile. I thought it was coming from the copper washers but I replaced them and it's still forming drops

Itg looks like I need to replace the rubber stopper where the tube comes in from the reserve. Anybody have any hints at the simplest way to do this?

Doing that now - actually replacing the MC. There is NO easy way. Those puppies are the worst part of the MC swap. Best advice I got from previous threads was to disconnect the reservoir so you can pull the MC down where you can get at the top of it.

I just removed the reservoir bracket and lowered the whole thing so I could get my hands on the top of the MC.
