Front Master Cylinder

#1 Post by Ron57 » Wed Oct 03, 2018 5:00 am

Hi, I have just finished an overhaul and have noticed now a slight weep out of the
sight lense. Has anyone have a cure for this problem.
Thanks Ron.

You can replace the lens Ron, I buy them on Ebay and pop out the old lens and press in the new one, More than likely the seal has gone hard and is leaking.

Thanks, master cylinder has been sitting empty for awhile.
I've been looking on Ebay having trouble locating one, do you have a site
where you bye the lense from.
Cheers Ron.
