Default Master cylinder repair kit

Anyone know if its possible to get a seal kit for the brake master cylinder (v70 T5 2002reg)

Have looked on the web and there are kits for Girling brakes ( not specifically V70), and was wondering if a kit exists that will work with the master cylinder.
That would be my prefered route to one off a scrap vehicle.
or
Is new the only way to go....

Cheers

Bob

Just found that Vida recommends caution

"NEVER, under any circumstances, open the master cylinder. Reassembling it requires special equipment and facilities"


That as they say answers that - looks like it might be a new MC

Are you sure it states that mine states
"Never, under any circumstances, open the ABS hydraulic modulator. Reassembling it requires special equipment and facilities."
Try Bigg Red Ltd.

re checked Vida

Yes on my version 2011D
information/repairs/521 master clinder,brake booster b5234T3 RHD - if that makes sense.

Came across the Big Red Ltd company on another part of VOC, and seem like a possible for the repair kit, but warning put me off.

Could it be a Volvo generic warning to ensure master cylinder is replaced not repaired?


Cheers
