Girling master cylinder seals.

Seasons greetings all,

Can anyone advise if master cylinder repair kits/seals are available for a late, tandem, Girling master cylinder. The ones on the plastic car are "stuck" and I think releasing them will only damage them.

Also I dont know if it's the cold or my age, but for every job I've done on the car lately I have a pulled muscle/cricked joint to show for it

. Poss due to working in a cramped garage,wearing 5 jumpers.
Roll on summer I'm peed of with winter already

As eloues mentioned,you may need a new master.
Before you chase up the seals,take the master apart and check it hasnt corroded inside leaving a groove in the cylinder bore where the seal would rest.What are your brake wheel cylinders like? If the cars been off the road for a time these can start leaking when used again.
Be worth a complete check over before you use it again,better safe than sorry

As for damaging ones self while working on the car,I spent 2 hours at the hospital last night having bits of marina removed from my right eye....kin hurts now!!.....got the new custom made rear exhaust box on though
