I've never seen anything similar for sale.
Maybe you'll have to create one yourself with a piece of bar and a grinder ?
Where have you got replacement mastercylinder seals from ?
TRW decided a long time ago not to provide replacement internal parts to prevent re-assembly cock-ups & possible liability issues due to very significant safety issues (eg "experts" putting the seals in back to front etc - lol)

New seal complete set plus all the parts need to effectively renew the master cylinder came from Craddocks.. I have repaired many such brake and clutch cylinders and calipers in the past , this my first Disco one with ABS , This is a tamper proof design but there are ways to overcome them , liability apart this is a ploy to make someone spend £200 for an exchange item.

IMO when it's about brakes which can be dangerous for others as long as you dont care about yourself nothing is too expensive..;. shame on those who sell such ''rebuild kits" for brakes ..it should be interdicted by law, even if it's aftermarket at least it's tested on a bench to be ISO compliant and it's not £200 http://www.land-rover-parts-shop.co...linders&group=Brake Master Cylinder&year=1996 albeit i'd not fit other than genuine on my vehicle... £200 once at around 15-20 years is not too much to be safe.... just my opinnion

But those of us who have extensive experience and knowledge about hydraulic systems don't to be dictated to by those who have no knowledge of hydraulic systems and refuse to be talked down to by those who spout "interdicted by law " , go spout elesewhere.

Britpart supply the kit , I solved the problem by carefully drilling out the offending plug and removing the remains with a thread extractor , it's a common thread , the same as the brake pipe fittings , I heve turned up a new one on the lathe , job done now , thanks .

Do you undrerstand what "IMO" means m8? ...though your extensive experience seems quite inextensive based on the ineptitude you posted
.... as about how much knowledge i have a about hydraulics you have no ideea... let's hope nobody will be a victim of your botch

IMO in your case just means In My Opinion , in my opinion you need to butt out . I've been doing my job on largely marine hydraulics for many years now , what about you ?
End of conversation , your opinion is worthless , you were no help unlike other members . I suppose there's always one a_hole in any group , you're it for this one.

Get over yourself.... you might have huge experience in terrestrial brake systems by being a marine hydraulics expert ... what happened last time when you pushed the brakes on a boat or on a submarine?
