What's all this wet stuff in my carpet? AAARGH!! Brake Fluid. I must have the self bleeding master cylinder option.

Are the master cylinder rebuild kits listed on the FLAPS sites any good? I don't recongize the mfr names. Does anyone have any experience using them?

Well, at least I know what I will be doing this weekend. I won't have to spend hours trying to find something to do that doesn't feel like work.

Thanks for the help

Good time to upgrade to 19mm if you haven't already.

Changing the MC is in the top three PITA jobs.

I'd removed the gas tank and the lines from the car. Than install the lines in the MC, than install the MC in the car. I know it is more work but trying to get those line into the top of the MC with the line in the car is the problem.

Rebuilding a MC is a waste of time. Geta new one.

I have a perfectly good used one if interested....17mm.

It's your's gratis....this club has provided me with so much stuff at this point, I'd like to return the favor"s".

rmital,
Thanks for the offer, but it is my daily driver, and my wife doen't like walking in the rain while I drive her car to work. I have to get back on the road over the weekend.

I couldn't find a rebuild kit locally, or a new 17mm, so I bought a new ATE 19mm. I guess this means I need to save for bigger calipers up front to take advantage of the bigger master cylinder.

Does the fun never end?
