Umm...... I think if I got this far, I might be inclined to see if the two nuts holding the master cylinder to the servo would come off relatively easy as they look in good condition...... if so, I think I would spin them off and pop a bit of grease on the threads, as from reading some comments re. these nuts sheering off, when wanting to change the master cylinder, it might be worth doing as the servos appear to be in short supply, or even unavailable. :wink:

Other than my above ramblings....... cracking job Lee...... the owner should be well pleased with this Alp when it is finished.

It's not those two that are normally the issue John .It's the 4 that bolt the servo body to the front cross member that snap off or just turn ..... :evil:
