Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: Paul In Ireland on April 29, 2009, 04:26:03 AM I have a clutch and master with tin tops, one missing a lid but they have been painted with a silver spray. Not sure what they are like underneath. Do you want me to post some pics?
Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: Utemad on April 29, 2009, 07:50:25 AM yes please. Postage expensive from Ireland? ;D

Still waiting for photos?? ??? ??? Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: Paul In Ireland on May 07, 2009, 02:02:56 AM Sorry about that :-[ - just reading messages now - will get onto it before the weekend. I don't think postage is too bad.
Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: Paul In Ireland on May 07, 2009, 08:31:47 AM I got these a while back when I thought I may have to replace the clutch master - turns out I was OK. Not sure what bits are missing or not but I have taken pics from every angle so you should be able to see. Here you go:

Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: Ed on May 07, 2009, 05:09:15 PM You are joking aren't you Ed? ??? hey rabbitoh,not really.. im guessing they are, i've never bothered to look closely. Just wondering how hard it would be to make some out of paint tins and some deft soldering. Cheers Ed Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: mcl1959 on May 07, 2009, 05:49:28 PM Male threads both ends, it is possible to cut out the centre and replace with a soup tin or such. It can be soldered to the original base and top. I've done this once before but it is a lot of work. Best to find a tin which is the right diameter so you don't have to solder up the side of the tin.

Was hoping they would be in better nick :'(. Ill stick with the plastic bottle type for now. Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: Rabbitoh on May 07, 2009, 08:43:33 PM For those enterprising reproducers out there (yes that means you Mr Rare Spares, et al.,) the queue for these tins and screw caps will start behind me! ;D
Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: oldgmh on May 07, 2009, 10:15:22 PM i have a rust free tin with a good lid hiding in the shed somewhere..... is it worthwhile getting it out?
ie are they worth anything?? ??? ??? ??? Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: Ed on May 08, 2009, 07:36:54 AM I knew somebody would have had a go ;D ;D
I have a herbicide tin at home with a screw cap and approx the right size.. hence the question.

Title: Re: master cylinders Post by: Ed on May 08, 2009, 10:32:52 AM worth a pretty penny it would seem.

To save you the hassle is it dent free? If so please send a photo with what you would like for it. I just paid $60 for a decent one with cylinder on ebay. Thanks Brent.
