Gary,

Just a guess, but the cylinder may have been rebuilt with a US kit!!

When I took my clutch master cyl apart, I found that the seals had been 
turned to mush, apparently by the wrong brake fluid.  I remember rebuilding 
this a year or two ago, and I have always used the Castrol LMA fluid.  Isn't 
this the right stuff for our British rubber?

Anyway, I bought a kit from Pegasus (it was a .70 m/c and not original, plus 
I ordered the kit Thursday morning and UPS dropped it off Friday 
afternoon...), rebuilt it yesterday and used some new Lucas fluid which I 
also had not tried before.

Am I doomed to repeat this every year or so?
