Does anyone have a Bentley that instructs how to replace the master cylinder
on an 87 Westy? If so, could you please copy the page and fax to
1-800-239-5737.

                                                              thanks, Jack

As I understand it, basically the same reason the panel with the
utility ports gets rotted out on Westys-- insulation sponges up water,
deterioration ensues...
