[TR] master and slave cylinder repair or replace

[tfansher at comcast.net]

The center portion of the reservoir is for the clutch.B  I'd do the Apple
rebuild,too. But back in the early seventies when I first rebuilt the TR3A I
was told that "brake and clutch systems age together" meaning that if I would
just replace the master cylinders in a short period of time do to increased
pressure from the top, the wheel cylinders not used to the increased pressure
would leak or fail.B  Only wanting to mess with a problem once, I rebuilt the
clutch master and slave cylinders and the brake master and from calipers and
rear wheel cylinders...cheap insurance by my way of thinking. Also, it makes
for a total replacement of the Dot 3 fluid with Dot 5.

There was a loss of fluif. B The center section of the reservoir was empty,
while the outside was full.
