[TR] master and slave cylinder repair or replace

[Jeremiah Curry]

After being in storage for 30 years I got the 57 TR3 I got from my
grandfather and law up and running this summer.  I replaced all of the
rubber bits, but not the master or slave cylinder. 

 

Fast forward a few months and I am blasting down Butterfield canyon in Utah
(a very steep winding two way road with just enough room for two cars to
pass, if one pulls over) when my clutch quits working.  It won't disengage.
Made for an interesting drive.  I did make it home safely, but.

 

It appears that either my master or slave cylinder has failed.  I figure I
should probably replace or fix them and the MC for the brakes while I am at
it.  So here is the question.  I saw that Moss has a repair kit for each, or
a replacement.  I can repair all three for about $30 or replace them for
about $150.  Seems like a no-brainer, but I don't know how hard they are to
fix, or if I am missing any other considerations.  Any input would be
appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Jeremiah
