Thanks for that Keith, my petrol pump sticks when the car has been standing for a while. I take the cover off, reassemble the electrical connections, and with the ignition on, move the breaker points backwards and forwards a couple of times with an insulated screwdriver or plastic pointy thing (one of Action Man's oars is about perfect). Hey presto..... click click click. Probably really needs some proper maintenance though.

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / 2 litre saloon Brake master cylinder

In the end Powertrack had the original cylinder re-sleeved for me. They did a fantastic job and at a very reasonable price too.
Many thanks to them and all who helped.
Trouble is, the car's been lying up so long it's running like an old cow.....please see my new post.

Thanks for that Robin. I don't know why I didn't think of that..... there are some pics of my car on his site.

Powertrack is the place to go, I've found them very helpful and efficient in the past.
New offside rear wheel cylinder for my 1954 four door on it's way as we speak!

1954 four door saloon. OLW 764
The old girl's going back on the road after a 9 month lay up. The engine lacks all power under acceleration, and coughs and splutters and seems to be missing on at least one if not two cylinders. On tickover and while cruising, she's as sweet as a nut! The problem gets worse as the engine warms up. It almost feels like the choke is permanently out!
I've cleaned and reset the plug gaps, checked the points gap, and cleaned the fuel pump breaker points. The HT leads seem to be a loose fit on the plugs, but I would have thought that there would either be a spark or not[?].
Is it likely to be a carb problem, and is this a "user serviceable" issue?
I'm a semi-competent amateur mechanic (probably the worst kind[:I]) Anyone got any tips on successful tuning of triple SUs, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Hi
I'm having trouble chasing down a master cylinder for my 1954 2 litre saloon. I've tried Powertrack to no avail. Does anyone know where I could source one or whether a cylinder repair kit would be any use?
Any help gratefully received
