Hi all,

Just wondering if there's suppose to be an additional seal between the brake master cylinder and brake fluid reservoir? I asked the shop twice where i bought my reservoir from and both times confirmed one is not needed. However low and behold fitted, filled up and getting weeping from the reservoir.
I feel a seal is a no brainer?

Thanks all
Joe

Pre-67 (single circuit) lists quantity = 1. See #18 here http://www.oacdp.org/5867part/323.png

1967 (dual circuit) lists quantity = 2. See #A19 here http://www.oacdp.org/5867part/329.png

Thanks that parts list is gold answered my question perfectly.

As for original I didn’t have one in rebuilding a field wreck and master cylinder was missing.

Thanks all
