<div dir="ltr">If the plunger is too long it will not retract enough to open the bleed-back hole in the master cylinder. I had this problem when I installed a new master cylinder that had a too long plunger. It seemed to work okay until I got a few blocks from home and it locked up. The front brakes got hot and cooked the rubber pieces and I had to rebuild everything. It's fun restoring a car when you don't know what you are doing.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Feb 19, 2022 at 4:39 PM Joel Martin via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div></div>

Yup, it was assembled WRONG.

</div>
<div>
Yes, it appears to be assembled according to the photo that was posted from the
<br>
</div>
<div>
shop manual... which is wrong.

The circlip must retain the washer that is captive on the pushrod. Pushrod should NOT
<br>
</div>
<div>
fall out loose from the master cylinder assembly.

Hopefully you did not sustain any injury or damage to your Tiger.

</div>That totally matches what I would expect to see. That round disc should have been on the inside of the clip. So either it was not assembled that way, which is odd. Or perhaps the disk is a smaller OD than the ID of the MC and the clip.

There are so many oddities here. First, at one end, the plunger should have a disc at the end, with a circlip that holds it in. That rubber boot would likely hold in the disc, even if the circlip broke. So since it “came out” of the rubber, it sounds like the center of the disc is some how flawed. But FWIW, I can’t imagine how that would happen unless something was quite odd in the assembly.
