Couple of things....
Are you sure the master is original to the Bugeye?
Later Spridgets used the exact same looking master but it was 3/4" bore, not
7/8".
On the 7/8 bore you can usually read it as it is embosed on the side.
The 3/4 bores did not have the bore embosed very clearly.
Of course you could always measure the bores too.
Look at the new seals, make sure you have 7/8" seals in a 7/8" master.
Next, if you messed around with the adjustment on the rods, or swapped
clutch/brake rods, you may have to adjust them so the piston is able to
return.
You didn't forget the springs inside the master did you?
