1971 MGB slave cylinder leaking pretty good.
Looking at most rebuild kits you don't get but about two seals in them,Is that usually enough to fix it,or should I just buy the whole cylinder.
I hear bleeding the thing can be a real bugger too, I hope not the brakes were bad enough. Any info on this much appreciated.

You're better off just buying a good aftermarket replacement....IMO

Just be aware the bleed screw on some of the replacements is in the wrong port: the bleed screw should be at the topmost hole when the cylinder is in position. Then bleeding that system is NO problem.

I wouldn't say "NO problem". I've still had problems at times (or was that with my Sprite?), but nothing a power bleeder (i.e. Eezibleed) couldn't fix.

Had to be th' Sprite, Dave. The B slave cylinder is stuck out there fer The Deities an' everyone to see. An EZ-Bleed makes it even less a problem. Twenty minutes, tops!

Look at the bore. If it's smooth and clean then a rebuild is as good, if not better than as a new one. If it's a car that is maintained properly then chances are the rubber is simply worn out. A new kit is only a few dollars.

If the bore is lightly damaged then you can hone it smooth again. If heavily damaged then replace, as it would cost less to buy a new one than to repair the damage.
