Barry,

I've just been having some trouble with mine. (I put kits in the master &
slave, but after nearly 1 litre's worth of bleeding, the feel isn't quite
right, and the master squeaks when I release the clutch: I'm going to
replace it.)

There is no problem getting these cylinders in Australia. You give the old
one to your local Triumph (or BL) parts supplier, and he sells you one with
a stainless-steel sleeve fitted. You can also take the cylinder to the shop
that fits the sleeve: less money, more time (unless they happen to have one
already in stock).

My spring broke, too. I brought the old one to Sydney Clutch & Brake, and
got a replacement for a couple of dollars.

Let me know if I can be of any help.
