One thing about the brake master cylinder:

Brake fluid, as you probably know, is hygroscopic. It sucks water out of any air that it comes into contact with. That can lead to rust in iron or steel parts of the system, like the inside of the master cylinder. There used to be stainless-steel sleeves that could be pressed into a bored-out master cylinder to serve as the bearing surface for the seals.

It's possible that your refurbished MC may wind up leaking after several uses, is what I'm saying. Keep an eye out for it.


Interesting quote by Jiri Mucha! I'm a big fan of his father; I didn't realize Jiri was famous as well!
