MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Brake Master Cylinder

I am trying to clean up a dual brake/clutch master cylinder for my Frogeye. It hasn't been used for a few years and it is full of crud does anyone know a good cleaning agaent to clean the metal casting?

Rob,
I faced the same issue. Did my best to clean it up and fitted new seals. Lasted about five minutes. My advice is to buy a new one. I got mine from Past Parts. They restore originals by inserting stainless steel sleeves. Has been fine since.

Eats the rubber gloves though!

Rob,

The dual masters are available since a couple off months. They werent for years and new old stock units were up to 450 euro's. Now I paid 165 euro's for a new unit.

If the old one inst pitted you can try an ultrasone cleaner. The equipment opticiens use. Very good in cleaning parts. only a drop of detergent and voila.
