Dave,
The contents of your M/C doesn't sound like dirt to me. The black sludge
you're referring to is your master cylinder seals, which sound like they were
exposed to DOT 3 brake fluid. DOT 3 will break down the natural rubber seals
used in Spitfires.
But that's just a guess.

Gaining access to the slave cylinder is one of the few areas our Triumphs
were pretty well designed. While you could technically get to it from
under the car, it's more comfortable (and drier!) to do so by removing the
transmission tunnel cover. This is held in place by a bunch of screws

I found a trail of brake fluid tonight from the Spit starting directly below
the slave cylinder, the resevoir was almost empty, and the pedal went right to

Hi Richard,I havent been following your lists so I dont know if you are
talking about a Herald or a Spit but if its for a Herald then the seats from
a Ford Escort Mk4 will fit. Not only that but the front two holes are the
exact same size as the ones in the Herald, and the back ones are only

Good news . The 12 months negotiations have been finalised . Won't have any
pre - war American cars ( or parts ... or books etc ) in my stable any more
, but a 1935 Triumph Southern Cross ( six cylinder ) restoration project .
Should have it by April / May 2003 if all goes well . Ca
Fwiw, I came across some information regarding the fact that Spitfires
