Hi
Here is the authorative story on the P6B 3500S twin brake line master cylinder, and rebuild kits . This is part of a long e mail
from Ruth of ABC , who has been doing a fine job of holding my hot sticky paws while I ponder the tortured design of my Rover's
braking system and attempt to understand the anoraky details of rebuild parts kits .I think this clarifies a complicated subject .
I'm grateful to Ruth for such a clear explanation and I'm happy to share the information with you all . Please note that is ONLY
applicable to the P6B 3500S twin brake line system !!!
Cheers
Patrick

> As Kent will attest to: if you are buying a kit from me You have to tell me the diameter of the piston on the end.
