mk3 master cylinder help please
« on: 21 June 2009, 15:02 »
As some of you might have read, I have got 22.2mm bore seals and I need 23mm. Does anyone know where I can find some 23mm master cylinder repair kit? would be a great help!

Might be easier and cheaper to replace the cylinder.

Funny you should say that, I think I already suggested it in this guy's previous thread.

Seals don't just go for a laugh.  It may be there's some pitting on the cylinder and that's why they've gone.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I took it apart and it looks all good to me. seals are cheap, but how much is a new master cylinder? not one from a scrap yard.
