Hi all,
I thought if I end up having to refurbish my master cylinder, I'll also want to change the hose from the reservoir to the cylinder.
The issue I first have is that one of the rivnuts is spinning (awkward one on bottom right of panel) - I've bought a special countersink end cutter to help me remove it - need to get the screw out first though.
The question I have is - why are there foam gaskets and a load of sealant around this panel?
I've been told that was done in the factory, but why does this panel need foam gaskets and sealant? Is it to stop petrol fumes from entering the front storage area?
Seems like overkill with the above and the number of screws, but I assume there must be a good reason.
Cheers!
