[Roadsters] Mastery Cylinder Rebuild Kits

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

The brake rebuild parts are usually available on eBay.  If not, check the 
list of "Vendors" on 311s.org.  Some will have the kits, others may not, but 
a little research on-line will answer the question.  But, if the M/C isn't 
leaking and the brakes stop evenly, I'd leave it alone.

I'd put silicone fluid in the system, though.  Here's what I did many, many 
years ago:

1.  Drained the existing fluid, pumping the pedal with one bleeder at a time 
open..

2.  Filled system with denatured alcohol (to get the petroleum-based fluid 
remaining).

3.  Drained the alcohol, again, pumping each line separately.

3.  Flushed the system with about three volumes of fresh silicone fluid, one 
line at a time..

Flush and bleed the brake M/C before starting on the system.

The key point is to get the alcohol out of the system, because it will 
vaporize when heated, and that's a bad thing.  Never had a problem with the 
brakes or the clutch.
