master cylinder repair suggestions

#1 PostAuthor: bedlow1 » Thu Jun 18, 2020 7:21 am

Hi anybody know if its possible and if so who i could contact to repair a uk master cylinder.
The thread for the mirror has worn away, guess it would need filling and a new thread tapped in. I would like to salvage it if i can rather than fit an aftermarket usa type.

Just needs a helicoil (or equivalent). I don't have the kit but there should be loads on here who could help.
If you fancy doing it yourself, here is an example of a kit. (check your mirror thread first to ensure you get the correct pitch)
