My experience with TR6 parts shows the master
is aluminum and rebuilds well, given you DON'T
try to hone the aluminum, just a toothbrush
will clean it up.

The slave is cast iron and pits inside.  Due to
the amount of movement, etc. it never seems to
rebuild well and is a constant problem.  The
slave rebuild kit is ~10 vs. ~$45 for the whole
thing.

My suggestion is rebuild the master and buy a
new slave.  Then fill the whole thing with DOT 5
silicon brake fluid.  Mark the cap so you won't
mix them later.

If the midget is the same, the advice likely applies.
