Master cylinder rebuild

I started the process today of rebuilding the master cylinder. This controls both the brakes and the clutch. When you push on one of the pedals in the car it directly pushes one of the forks sticking out of the cylinder which in turn injects hydraulic fluid through the lines to make the brakes work. Pretty simple system, it just needs a good cleaning and a few new parts and it will be back in business .
