Andy,

When I replaced my master cylinder with a new Lucas/Girling Unit it did
come with a threaded rod and a screw-on pedal clevis. Unfortunately, the
end product could not be made short enough to fit the pedal hole, so the
old one-piece unit has to be used anyway.

BUT, to do this job, the circlip must be removed, the rubber cover that
fit the small rod stretched over the disc, and the assembly reattached
by inserting the circlip again.

While this is not particularly difficult, with a circlip tool, it may be
damaging if done if a needle nose (or other work-around) is used. This
could have been by somebody else - but are you sure your friend used a
good circlip tool properly?

Steve
