Well I have had the master cylinder off my 74 spitfire two times now - I am
getting better at taking it off and bleeding the brakes too. The first time
I had the master cylinder off was to rebuild it (thanks for the help I
received previously here on that) and the second time was due to the
apparent leakage at the junction between the master cylinder reservoir and
the master cylinder itself. I took the master cylinder off again because I
wasn't convinced that I tightened the screws/bolts that hold the reservoir
to the cylinder enough. Anyhow I have tightened them down as much as I can
and I am still losing brake fluid from front portion (the unit is the tandem
master cylinder type) of the reservoir/cylinder junction. Is there some type
of secret I am missing here.... I.e. Do I need a better seal than the one
provided in my kit for the rebuild? Should I be using a gasket sealant to
assist in the junction being "water/fluid tight".
Thanks,
Jim Cullen
