It was really mucked up. In the process the spring was destroyed. I thought - no biggy the master cylinder kit will have a new one. NOT!! The master cylinder kit I bought from Napa Auto Parts (#146) did not have a new spring in it.
Does anyone know where I can find or have a spring that will fit my 1-1/8" bore master cylinder?
I would greatly appreciate and assistance.

I would take back the napa kit for a carter kit. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 202 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 202 | If its the ME315 that Jim Carter offers, it too doesn't have a spring; or at least the photo of the kit on Jim Carters web site does not show one. Have you bought one recently? My master cylinder has an 1-1/8" bore.
