Circling back to this - found a couple master cylinders I forgot about today. 



Brake one seems good - clutch one seems a bit gummed up.  Both have bosses for the FJ1000 mirrors.  I first thought both brake levers were good - but the brake one looks just a bit tweaked in the picture maybe?

Just let me know if you can use them  :drinks:

Oh - and thanks for the tip on resizepixel - I set pics to 2mb and they load quickly and still have good resolution.

I was able to save pics in the gallery.........the problem was they were too large, yes.
I resized them first and they loaded fine.

Here's my spare one if you end up needing one.

Yall are amazing, seriously.

I ended up ordering the one off of ebay I had mentioned, 16mm one this time. It showed up here Thursday so I'm just waiting on a few more things before I go back outside and mess with it.

As for another update on the clutch cover, I called RPM earlier this week. They do have a spare for the outer portion of the housing, which thankfully is the part I would need, as a back up option. I did order the gasket from them so I'm just waiting for that to arrive. In the meantime I ended up pulling the cover off to get a head start on the degreasing. I masked the rubber seal/gasket for the inner portion of the housing with heat resistant tape that was around the area of the crack. Grabbed a can of Citrol, used that, scoured the area with some copper wool, and used a torch (reasonably! lol) and applied some JB Weld.

I'm gonna let it sit for about 2 days and hopefully the gasket will be here in time but I'm not really in a big rush. Again I really appreciate the support yall and look forward to this spring!
