Re: Priming the Master Cylinder

Having hellish time rebuilding same rear brake master cylinder on my 82 500. Replaced all the seals (thanks NLM), but still not returning. Does anyone have a diagram of what the internals should look like? (it's a Grimeca item), as suspect that the spring may be wrong or too weak.

Thanks

Paolo Berlusconi has a history which is almost, shall we say as "colourful" as his brothers ....

Re: Brake fluid

OK, thanks for that. I thought it might not be an issue, but I once had a bad experience with brake fluid and a Citroen 2CV, but that's another story!

Keith, I have a fully restored 500, to standard spec as far as I can tell. I live "up" in Cheshire, but will gladly take and email any photos that could be of help.

Given ludicrous work commitments and the salt factor, it may be 1st March before a tax disc gets stuck to her. Also that gives me 19 more days to get her started, something that has so far eluded me!. I'll trawl through the many and various previous posts on this subject before asking "help&quo...
