Just a thought about the shim:

It might be for preventing =E2=80=9Crusting solid tight=E2=80=9D. 

Brake fluid can cause serious scalding, i.o.w. it might cause serious corro=
sion.

Having a =E2=80=9Cshim=E2=80=9D might prevent this.

 

For Paul:

The single cylinder brake mc I think is easier to swap w/o removing the ped=
al box, than the US spec tandem cylinder, which is longer.

 

Cheers

Hans

To be fair, and having done it both ways with both masters at various times=
 and for a repaint, it's MUCH easier to get at the banjo bolts through the =
large plug in the firewall than it is to remove and refit those two bolts w=
hich are higher up behind the dash.

 

As said getting the lower nuts on the master cylinder is a fiddle, but agai=
n nowhere near as bad as those two bolts.  I wedged the nuts into an open-e=
nded spanner and stuck the washer to them with grease.

 

And on the subject, anyone know the purpose of the thin shim between the si=
ngle-circuit (not dual?) brake master and the pedal box?  It surely can't b=
e to do with alignment.

=2E...  To get to the lower attachment bolt, you have to go through a hole =
in the firewall, right behind the master cylinders.  It is covered with a r=
ubber "plug", and is not easy to get to...
