Hi Tom,
Great question on whether the 69 master is the same, altho according the
"Clymer" seems it's the same. I should've posted that my roadster is a 67.5;
the master is the dual cylinder type and the seal I munged up is the one
that is really (the adjective &%$($& fits!) difficult to put on the rear
piston. There's 4 total of these seals total and they look all the same to
me.

Can any one else shed some light?
thanks,
Mark
