Thanks for the information, but the master cylinder and calibers were
rebuild originals.
I have read about the issues with the Moss units on British Car Forum. I
understand that Moss is no longer selling the master cylinders and has a new
source. That said, the rebuild kits for both the clutch and brake master
cylinders for this car did come from Moss, but the clutch master cylinder
kit is working fine. I will call Moss tomorrow and inquire.

Just got an email from a fenders saying Moss had a recall on some master
cal. Don't know any more than that. If you have a Moss unit. Contact them.
