you have a choice. either cut the lip off the new plastic panel or trim 10mm off the steel lip on the car. i know which is easier...

I cut the lip, but that's only because I want it to look like the normal battery cover and I have also been known to lean on it when under the bonnet so I need the support under the cover. Cutting the steel lip is extremely easy, probably easier than cutting the plastic accurately

To make the whole thing look like it has been there since day dot, you will want to cut the metal lip. If you start cutting the plastic you will have to remove a fair amount and probably ruin the cover.

mine has cut plastic. less than 10mm taken off. when its under the rubber seal you cant see the edge. just sit it ontop of the lip then trace the steel edge with a white pencil. cut inside the white line. perfection

Nope, I am still waiting on a couple of payments to clear so if you can transfer it tonight that would be great.

Will PM you the details Glen.

For those that haven't, I will also need your delivery address via PM and also contact number for the parcel.

I have your money and am disappearing into the sunset :P

I was waiting until today for the last payment but it doesn't seem to be coming now.

No matter, I am placing the order today via PayPal so should be shipped out from the US either today or tomorrow.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
