thank you, we've done it!!!

A quick summary, i hope the pix match up.

The reservoir came off easily.

The old rubbers melted when bathed in petrol.

The reservoir was cleaned out with petrol, air hose, water hose, rag, special home made tool (bent screwdriver) and new brake fluid. (and dried out thoroughly).

BigJon: I installed the rear rubber first and lifted the plastic tube (a few mms) with an allen key, enough to make it guide into the new rubber. The round front rubber slid on no probs.

Rubbers were liberally coated in new brake fluid, (hence more bubbles in outer paint, oh well).

Once the rubbers were seated into the master cylinder i gently pushed the reservoir into position.

Reservoir filled with a type of fluid i haven't seen before (it's nearly clear and doesn't smell).

Nothing leaking.....

I owe you guys a beer, thanks, have one on me and I'll give the zacs to our strapped site owner (Mr Blears) who deserves as much for keeping us....

You've all been real good (and a quick thanks to halrays for having the parts in stock for the right price, which is not the norm in the bush, and to my beautiful missus for playing courier in the midst of her busy day).

Luv youse all.....

now on the the steering box, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr....lol
That same brake kit you bought, I got from my local brake and clutch man for $20, told him what I wanted, looked up his book, picked the seals and O-rings out of several boxes, put them all in a plastic bag, voila, one M/C kit $20, please, try your local bloke first, Regards Frank.
