Jim,

I have been going through this myself.  Luckily for you, you have the right
kind of piston in your PDWA that allows you to use the rebuild kit that is
available.  I got mine from Rimmer Brothers in the UK.  You want part number
BAU1704A, as detailed at 
     http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/cgi-bin/rimmer.bat?tr6/brakes-pipes

You can also get it from British Racing Green (I think) at 888-749-8033.

Have fun!

Hello fellow listers!
I am repairing my PDWA on my 75 TR6.  Not sure if this is the original,
but it is a  brass model PDWA.  I assume this is the late model.  See
picture at the following link.  It was simple to remove, just unscrew
the end plug and use long needle nose pliers to first, slighlty push out
the piston from the top switch opening and then secondly, pull out from
the end cap.  It really was easy... cool!  I then cleaned up the unit
with brass polish, it was originally painted with black undercoating.
Should have had a before picture.  What a difference.

The picture shows the unit after I removed the shaft. My seals were
leaking fluid up through the electrical switch so I decided to rebuild.
Does anyone know where, or have a couple of new o-rings for hydraulic
fluid that fit this unit?

Many thanks!
