My MkII Stag is the USA Stag known as "uncle jack" that was reconditioned
in 2009 for John Macartney's charity drive across the USA and Canada.
It has had silicone fluid in it since the rebuild. I put it up for the
winter. It had a full brake reservoir. In the spring, the brake reservoir
was empty. The engine has not been run. There are no signs of leaks
anywhere. Based on my experience with a Rover 2000TC many years ago, I
assume all the fluid is in the brake servo vacuum canister.
Am I correct in assuming that I will get all the parts to repair this by
ordering a brake master cylinder?
Ought I order the Lockheed or the TRW version to have a better chance of
the seals playing nicely with the DOT 5 Silicone brake fluid?
