I had a master cylinder stainless steel sleeved and rebuilt for $120 (I think) recently. Wheel cylinders would be a little cheaper.

ill post pictures up when my internet is uncapped

but for now, any idea what colour paint is on the engine block? like original LR colour

i think that the colours on the block could have changed through the time of the series one i have seen a turquoise colour and a deep green on a series one
