Hi thanks for this, a few things though.

First off I know it said use new cylinders but the man I took most parts needed for this project off has done a few of these before and he said the seals deteriorate quite quickly if the fluid is removed from the cylinders so what we did is left a bit of piping on the end of the master and slave cylinder and hammered them flat trapping the fluid in and preserving the seals. Hopefully this will work.

Secondly do you know the drill sizes for the slave cylinder? I'm guessing a hole saw is needed for the centre hole? I want to get the pedal box job done now so it's over with ready for sometime next year when my Herald is back on the road after having its own gearbox surgery!
