Hi Eduard
The original Herald master cylinder is long since unobtanium as far as I'm
aware. The only replacements seem to be the type that have the reservoir at
right angles to the bore, most people supply one that has a big plastic
reservoir to give the required volume to the system. Is your Herald a front
drum model, if so I would suggest you upgraded to a set of Spitfire discs,
on a convenience level well worth the change, on a safety level imperative
for today's traffic! Even If I were building a concours car I would do this
and forgo any points willingly to be able to drive to the show in safety.
Also Don't forget that discs were optional on Heralds of about that age so
points should not be an issue!
Graham.

> I do have the old cylinders, I could check them out to see if they are
pitted at all. I replaced some that were ceased up several months ago, I
have not done the rest. The brake cylinders are mainly a safety concern. I
do have a question about the master cylinder however. I attempted to pull
apart the clutch master cylinder months back and could not remove the piston
from the bore. Is there a trick to getting it out to replace the rubber
inside? I did order a rebuild kit and still have it. I couldn't figure out
how to disassemble the cylinder so I never used it. That would probably be
the least expensive solution.
