Lost part, look for help and or options

Alright, so all at once my hydraulic systems failed... turn out my dad has been using DOT3 break fluid and it fails about 1 year after he moves to Germany and leaves me the car.

I had a $120 gift card for Spit-bits and orders a new clutch master and slave. that is one system down

so i had an old rebuild kit for the the brake master cylinder. not paying attention when i was pulling things apart on the secondary valve the spring lets lose and the valve shoots off. After spending the better part of a day looking for it i can not find it anywhere.

Calling around it seems that spits bit and VB both do not sell it by it self.

So I am at a loss, i can not put the breaks back together and the clutch parts will be here in the morning. I finely have an interview this week for a job (been out of work for nearly 6 months)and i really do not want to have to reschedule due to a lack of transportation.

Any help or work arounds at this point would be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

Will
 
Can you post a diagram with the component you are looking for?
I might have the part you need and would be happy to send it to you...
 
Sorry, I was looking for the part numbers

Will-
I think I have what you are looking for. PM me with a mailing address and I'll be happy to send it.... No charge!
 
Let me know how it works once you receive it.

By the way... I try to use a shop rag when disassembling spring loaded components to lessen the risk of it becoming airborne.
 
That's right Don... it happened on my birthday :smirk:
 
Or disassemble in a paper shopping bag or large cardboard box. Keeps all the errant bits from running under benches, water heaters, cracks inna floorboards, etc. :wink:
