    That does not look tempting at all. Some serious cleaning involved to get that back, good luck.

    i used the ultrasonic cleaner on the caliper of my cb-rs cuz it was really, really dirty and it came out with the inside as clean and debris free as a chipmunks nest in the spring

    forget to mention : make sure all the water is gone because the brake-fluid doesn't like it much. pre-heat your oven for a lasagna or pizza put the parts on a tray, leave them in for about 5 minutes, replace with food and hopla two tasks done in one go

    I have 2 3ln3 front MC (and a BRAND new resivior, that cost me $34) if you need it.

    However one if not both MC will need a rebuild.

    Thanx mate ...... hopefully this one will be ok with a clean out
    I think its a ring in anyway ..... 3LN1 has the box type combined master and reservoir ..... later models have the separate plastic reservoir ..... this one matches neither.

    Heres todays progress ..... just needs the EXUP rebuilt and adjusted and the headers fitted and it can be fired up.
    Front and rear brakes to be sorted and new sprockets and chain needed.
    Oil and filter change to come also.

    The nut is restricted by the splines .... anything other than the correct sprocket would be dodgy to the extreme , especially in such a high load area
