Cheers James, Paul (s) et al....after taking it apart and cleaning it, the O Rings etc. looked to be in decent condition so I just cleaned it and put it back together thanks.
Having converted this car from a single line to a double with the tandem master cylinder coming from the club, we were very surprised to learn that the master cylinder has metric ports.....that caused a bit of chew I can tell you! What's all that about then? There's not much else on the car that's metric....
Anyhoo, thank you one and all for your input and lively debate!
I DID mention in my post that the m/cyl ports were metric and in fact, standard dual circuit cars also had metric studs on the servo with 17mm nuts holding the M'cyl on instead of the 3/8UNF of earlier cars. Not that it makes any difference, the early servo will accept the late m/cyl and vice versa, you just have to make sure you have the correct nuts for the servo you are using.
Glad it's all sorted now!
