I removed it last night - mine is a Girling, reservoir is not detachable, piston bore diameter about 16mm, Mongolo Clutch & brakes had a look and didn't have one wih the 10mm line thread connection so I had this one re-sleeved and new seals etc. a replacement was maybe going to be more - unless I could reflare the line to suit the imperial hydraulic fitting for the one off the shelf. Before that i had hoped Motorspares could identify it but they really had no idea what they were doing - told me it had a huge (22mm) bore and was probably a Holden unit (they incorrectly measured first opening not the bore itself!)
Though I hope never to worry about it again, it would be useful to note what it's off...BTW what's best to clean brake fluid off the firewire, metho? Mark.JT.
