Thanks, I have a few calls to make today so will see what I can source, sounds like a rebuild would be OK, just need to what is in the kit first. I'm really hoping to get my car back on the road within the next 2 weeks. Here's a few pictures of when she was pulled from her 10 year sleep and

Thanks Jim, The Haynes manual shows the master can be dismantled but you have to lever a large plastic cover away and I'm damaging it trying to do it. The outside of the master is quite rusty so ideally I'd replace but I'm still going to try and dismantle if I can. Haynes say its the same on
