the bolts will keep it from turning the big question is does it leak?

i think i will replace it if it's not suppose to do that -- even if it doesn't leak.
so the question is, does the reservoir come that way from the factory or did mine separate?

It should pull out and you should find a oring that seals it to the lower housing .they are rebuildable if you can find a seal kit .The orings in the kits are special for brake fluid they are different from mineral oil based hydraulic systems

It is just spinning in the o ring. Like Gary said, if it isn't leaking at the base to casting zone then it will be held in place with the cover screws. I wanted to pull mine off to paint the casting but didn't want to hassle with finding the new o ring. If anyone has a line on where to get them let us know. I just saw my paint job ending up costing me $100. New master...

I'm having second thoughts on replacing the whole MC. So I filled the reservoir with brake fluid and it leaked a little but that's before I put the bolts on. I'm sure once the 4 bolts are on, it'll be tight. Do you think I am good to go and safe? Or should I go back to original plan of getting a new master cylinder?

I'm looking at some to carry here at Hugh's HandBuilt. They should be well under $62.00 shipped if all goes to plan... Just a thought

I wish, but I will be as competitive as possible. Low overhead helps alot. Seriously, my shop only has 7 feet clearance

Just slap the cover on and check it. If NO leaks go with it. Give it a day or so to let the rubber take size and see if it is holding.

This.
Honestly, the price hikes at Mikes (made a rhyme) just makes it easier to buy from MMM. Bet they didn't foresee that when they raised the prices that much.
