You'll probably have to mount it at a slight angle to clear the clutch
master cylinder. Mine (a Mocal) came with 2 different thickness
square-section O-rings, some modeling clay, and instructions on how to
determine, using the clay, which ring to use (I don't have the instructions
any more, or remember what they entailed). Make sure there are no ancient,
hard O-rings remaining in the sealing groove.
