Thanks again for the tips, guys. I managed to find a great counter partsman
at Lordco who found the kit needed for the job. Cost: $9! It took all of
30 minutes to complete the boot re&re including jacking up the car ..now,
let's see how long my labour guarantee lasts. hah

My next step is bleeding the entire system. I'll post that interesting
ditty separately.

CDN$9 is amazing. Single piston kits will cost double that in the US.

Curious as to the condition of the piston/bore and rubber piston seal?
Any rust in there?
