how bad is the old body ?
if its still good inside then the rubbers from the front master cylinder are the same size
just carefully swap them from one piston to the other.

another one sorted

although i didnt have to trim the dust boot, i just had to file the slot in the steel washer a bit bigger
but as long as it works..

I used the original washer instead of reaming the new washer out. But great advice on the kit and the banjo pressure switch. Saved me alot of time an money. Plus it's a cool setup
