Just a heads up for anyone interested,and I hope this doesn't go against any forum rules Please feel free to delete if that's the case I've just received and fitted this re furb kit for the OE slave cylinder and was very impressed so far http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122141041580?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" rel="nofollow - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122141041580?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The main seal is a different profile to the OE one and made of a harder grade matl so we'll see how long it lasts,the original lasted about 7 years but was starting to leak The pot of supplied silicone grease is very handy too,about 80% left after slathering the piston & seals in it ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Apparently using the silicon grease effectively ends the black fluid syndrome,I'll reserve judgement on that but the seal looks a far better piece of kit to start with. The original seal starts wearing almost immediately and sticks to the cylinder walls,the brake fluid just bounces off this grease so hopefully it will stay lubricated for a bit longer,whatever it was a useful stop gap till I re seal my spare MPL At that price a useful standby in the spares box I thought ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |
