[TR] Brake master cylinder

[Roger Wilson]

I found a small leak at the brake master cylinder on my '60 TR3.  I ordered
a new cylinder, which came in yesterday. It looks like a simple swap, but
the shop manual doesn't have much on changing it out, which I plan to do
this weekend. Is there anything I should look out for?  

I have noticed that some TR3's have a bolt with nuts to act as a stop for
the pedal in front of the cylinder bracket.  I think it is so that the rod
doesn't pull on the washer and ring at the front of the cylinder. Does that
have any benefit?  It seems that the fork can be adjusted to compensate for
that. 

Thanks,
