Thanks Hank. Ah, simple enough so the "rubber band" is just used in conjunc=
tion with the rubber boot. That crossed my mind, but was way overthinking i=
t. Crocus Zcloth is basically 1500-2000 grit so kinda basically my "super f=
ine" paper. My thought was that bores aren't typically perfectly smooth, an=
d since the rod slides inside the rear seal, that maybe perfectly smooth is=
n't ideal. Again probably way overthinking it.

I have also had great results with sleeved brake and clutch parts. I went t=
hrough probably 3 sets of repo rear wheel cylinders (Bugeye), before reslee=
ving the original ones. Not one problem since.

Don't sand any internal parts. OK to use crocus cloth to polish but no emer=
y or other abrasive.  Clean all with brake fluid.  Rubber sleeve can go ove=
r the boot when installed to keep dirt out and boot from slipping...use rub=
ber grease to lube all rubber.

If you sleeve the cylinders they will be a permanent fix, but costly.  If t=
he bore is clean-no pits or scores then you do not need to sleeve. End cap =
is for access and is original. See pictures attached. Hank, healeyhelper.co=

Included in the Moss seal rebuild kit is a large wide/thin "rubber band" ty=
pe seal that is not pictured in the service manual.  I assume it goes over =
the thin round "castle top" spacer in the end cover??? Also my "castle top"=
 spacer is removable (also not pictured seperate in service manual). Is thi=
s correct or an aftermarket MC?

Also looking for plunger surface prep advise since it is a sealing surface =
and slides in the rear seal. Polish it? Super fine sandpaper? Just clean it=
? I plan to send the body out to be re-bushed.
Thank you,  Shawn
