[TR] 2 questions

  *   Will they still work as a spare?

Depends on they were stored. Unless thoroughly cleaned and seals lightly lubed before being stored, after 5 years on the shelf I’d rebuild them before I would consider them as useful spares.

Subject: [TR] 2 questions

I see on the British Parts Northwest site that there is a clutch master (for TR6) that is .70 bore and one that is .75 bore.  Does anyone have any experience with the 2 and if it makes a difference?

And

I know that a water pump once removed will dry out and is not a good spare.

How about a master brake or clutch?  I replaced both before going on a trip about 5 years ago, for preventative reasons, not because they were bad.  I have always used silicon brake fluid.  Will they still work as a spare?  I’m getting ready for a couple big trips this year and am wondering if I should bring them along.
