Well I got my parts from that Autoist guy, rebuilt the master cylinder. Everything seemed fine, bled the system, took it for a ride and after a few good pumps on the brakes I had none! Got it back to home base, that was interesting, and found the right rear tire inbound side covered with brake fluid. Had my trusty wife partner pump the brakes while I watched and it appears as if the piston boot is stuck to the piston, because as the piston pushes out against the shoe, the fluid comes pouring out of the point where the boot meets either the seal or the cylinder housing.It's almost as if the boot were being pulled away from the cylinder as the piston comes out? Any ideas? It appears to be a newer cylinder and the boots look quite good, the pistons are still shiny. Oh Yeah, '66 MGB
