Clutch lever master cylinder on the '00 SERG started leaking slightly at the wiper recently (not the cap). Hydraulic clutch assy was installed by previous owner.  Time for a rebuild kit.  Prices on eBay about $55 for the clutch kit but only about $18 for the front brake kit.  They're both 11/16" & appear identical  -  what gives?  OK to use a brake kit in the clutch?

OK, a brake m/cyl kit will NOT work in a clutch m/cyl.  Parts are almost the same but the brake wiper will not pop into the clutch m/cyl housing.  I ruined two new wipers in the attempt & had to buy complete kits each time (can't buy just the wiper).  I finally bought a Drag Spec clutch kit online ($30) & managed to install it AFTER fabricating a piece of PVC pipe to squeeze the rubber cupped washers down to bore size (PVC I.D.=.70). If anyone HAS used a brake kit in their clutch m/cyl please chime in & tell me how you got that #&!% wiper in there.
