Brake master cylinder overhaul #3

I cleaned the inside of the master cylinder again using the honing machine.


I removed the rust from the spacers, nuts and washers which were used for fixing the brake master cylinder on the body,


and painted the brake master cylinder, the linkage rod and other small parts.
I did the “home made baking finish painting” with the electric heater.



Apply the brake fluid on the piston and insert it to the cylinder.


Assemble the piston push rod, which to be connected to the linkage rod, in the order of (1) ~ (6).


#1 rod to be inserted to #2 washer, and it to be fixed in the groove inside the cylinder with the circlip .


And set the #4 plate on it, insert the #5 spring and fix the spring with #6 nut.



These would be covered by the rubber boots. 
It was not completed yet, but the work of this day was ended.

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #4

The overhaul of the clutch master cylinder , which I succeeded in the removal and repair of the piston with solder ( probably ), has been still continuing.  The master cylinder was disassembled and all parts were cleaned.  The condition of each part was not bad.

Assembly started.  I checked the condition of the rubber parts originally used comparing with ones of the repair kit.  And I decided to use the original ones because the rubber was not deteriorated yet and the quality looked better than the repair kit ’ s one.
