Okay - one last question on my brake master cylinder for my 74 spitfire. I have had this thing on and off my little beast about 4 times now (maybe 5). Anyhow, the last time I had the master cylinder off I used a brake hone (thanks to the advice of this group) and thought I had exorcised my brake fluid leaking demons as I initially didn't see any brake fluid leakage. Unfortunately, some other issues with the car developed (had to rebuild the carburetor), but that is another story. So, I didn't really drive the car that much after the last attempt. Now that I am driving the car more I am again seeing leakage from the master cylinder. My last thought is that maybe I installed the seal that goes with the primary piston incorrectly. I am assuming that the seal goes on the shaft of the primary piston - right? Blow up photos from the Haynes manual and the Victoria British catalogue don't really show this seal on the piston itself - but I don't see how it could seal otherwise. The other thought that I have is maybe I installed the seal backwards. There is some writing imprinted on the side of the primary seal - which way should the writing go - towards the interior of the master cylinder sleeve or to the exterior of the master cylinder sleeve?
