Today working on the front end, I reckon I had the uppers arms on and off half dozen times, referring to the manual, and then when I got to the lowers it was doing my head in figuring out which seals go where? any way should get it knocked out tomorrow.

I am from Western Australia, when I went and visited my old man at Christmas I went to a wreckers who had a few master cylinders, I picked out a couple and brought them back to NZ, I have had them re-sleeved but this is how the reservoirs look after being cleaned, so I am on the hunt for a couple.
