Cortina1975 26 Posted June 28, 2021 Hi all, Bad times! After holding the golden fluid for over a year my brake master cylinder has leaked all over the newly painted inner wing . Noticed the level has dropped and the fluid is running down the face of the servo. I guess the options are a re sleeve or a Land rover part. It's already had the bore cleaned up with emery and new seals fitted. Would this Land Rover part fit the servo ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291300864337 Which brake pipe unions would I need to order (presume the Ford uses metric and the land rover is imperial. Thanks all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveWheats 4 Posted June 29, 2021 I had my master cylinder resleeved by Past Parts, and it has performed faultlessly over a few 000 miles. It cost c£150 though, but to my mind a resleeved original is better than a cheap foreign one. What colour is the plastic band on your cylinder? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cortina1975 26 Posted June 29, 2021 Thanks Dave. It's a red tag on mine. Unfortunately the plastic tank got cracked removing it to change the rubbers and had to be sealed with JB weld so I doubt it will be worth repairing...but id rather keep it origonal spec if i can rather than go down the Land Rover route 43 minutes ago, DaveWheats said: I had my master cylinder resleeved by Past Parts, and it has performed faultlessly over a few 000 miles.

On another forum somebody complained that theirs started leaking, but was fixed FOC. Give it a day or two to see if anybody else on here has any comments. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cortina1975 26 Posted October 11, 2021 Just to update this saga..and give a hat tip to Past Parts! They sorted me out with a new old stock master cylinder to replace mine with a damaged tank. Not that cheap but worth it to have the origonal type with a new set of seals fitted. Inner wing repainted again, bled up and finally no leaks.! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Webster 22 Posted October 16, 2021 Past Parts get my thumbs up too. Used them a few times now and wouldn't hesitate to in the future. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beeper 52 Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Another vote for PastParts here. They sent me the seals I needed. Getting the tank off without damaging it is a feat in itself but I managed to do it. Here are my posts about it and the link if anyone else needs it. http://www.pastparts.co.uk/ Edited October 18, 2021 by Beeper 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
