Purchased a rebuild for tb42s that has a vac booster.
kit K8394X.
(Was $13 retail if your interested.
it only suits vac boosted cyl, not non boosted)

All going well cleaned cyl etc removed large cup and replaced.
removed small cup and dropped it so now I don't know for sure which way it faced to put the new one on in the correct direction.
does anyone know if it faces forwards like main cup or backwards towards firewall ?.

Forward the same as the main cup.

Ok thanks,
sure I had it round the right way.
the old one was compressed flat from age.
that's what threw me and I dropped it before I could examine it
It looked to only go on one way, but !
Seem to of hit an air lock, wont bleed.
Off the rd again ##@#@#@#.

Murphy's law.
the new seal kit , the small seal was incorrect size.
after removing and measuring it turned out to be .2mm thinner than the gen one.
instead of sealing the resivour it was allowing fluid to return to the resivour with each input pedal stroke.
not allowing any pressure to build up.
put the old seal back in and it all works again.
talk about wasten time.

Apart from needing a kit in clutch master, the booster also is suffering a leak.
Thought something was amiss with booster.
Sustained revs in a lower gear, boost assistance was diminished.
(seeing as we don't drive like that it wasn't a problem).
R&R master cyl has broken any seal between the two units.
Boost assistance is very erratic now.
So kit for booster on the way.
www.Patrolapart.com is the supplier.

The master was in good condition surprised it was leaking.
think it's possible vac leak was drawing fluid past the cup and was the real cause of fluid leak.
well at least I don't have to worry when that will let go any more.
not much left to do, anyone interested in a nearly new 93 Maverick lol.
