Was getting ready to bench bleed the new cylinder, figured I might as well pull the old one first.
Turns out this MC has a boot/gasket that looks nothing like the one that came with the new one. Went to the parts store when I got it and the guy said the only place I'd find something like that would be yearone. Anyone been down this road already, something so [censored] simple and now I'm going to have to wait days ? I can't see how the new boot would do any good at all, its very thin and bulbous, not even close to the shape of the original. Browsed around online at yearone & ames, don't see anything like it. I have a NPD within driving range.
Also I am noticing that the contact point for the brake pushrod in the old MC is a good inch or 2 inside the MC body, whereas the new one is right in front ,,, Don;t see evidence of it but could this plate have just flat out deteriorated and buckled ?
