I'm lucky enough to have a spare one for my F1, but the bad news is that the one on the bike, and the spare, were both seized solid.
I stripped down the spare, and gave it a half hour roasting on the gas hob, which freed up the plunger core, and I managed to extract it.
Now I'm wondering if the bore is going to be good enough to take a repair kit.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to bore out the cylinder body, and fit some sort of liner ?
I've got enough engineering skills to convert the bike to a modern, pattern cylinder, but I'd really rather keep it original looking.
