When you put the new master cylinder on was it an aluminium or a steel one ?
There is NO nucleus.

Cant remeber mate as one of the guys at work fitted it , Have checked for leaks and cant see any , Does the slave sit flush to the gearbox or is there a very small gap , As the old one was caked it crap and when the new one was fitted it sits on the gearbox ok and bolts up fine but the nearside has a small gap , Im talking approx 2mm ??

Have you tried putting the old slave on with the new master. I had a problem where it would not go thru. For some reason this worked. Don't ask why?
