Hydroelastic pump

[500e]

Have a Genuine BMC pump brought in for repair.
Anyone re built one or have a list of bits needed with seal or part Nos.
There appears to be no repair kit available even in AU.

We had one and the pump is just a Girling brake master cylinder, reservoir, gauge and appropriate pipework and connectors. So the seals should be available from motor factors or similar places.

just gonna say as above....I worked for a while in a BMC dealers.....they are nothing fancy.....
just measure the bore of the master cyl and of u go......

This one is nothing like a master cylinder, will provide photos when I get round to it

I think I've read that all the seals can be found except for a seal in the vacuum pump.

Mechanic who did a car after I replaced a pipe and did some welding on used what looked like a grease gun to refill the suspension.

Just got the thing
Removed the case, well most off, fair bit of damage to taps bent shaft and seized, will have to soak both taps to strip .
No legs! at least they are only tube and front one has a bracer between them to step on when pulling vac on system
Wear in mechanism links and there are no master cylinders as some say in this variation

Preasure side pump.
Someone has been in there in before think, could be a bb missing + seal is shot. (2part assembly).

Found more unhappy bits and blocked pipes, Think It is not a job to carry on with the customer will have a heart attack at cost.
