83 GL1100 Rear Master Cylinder

Post by piero »



In rebuilding my 83 GL1100 rear brake master cylinder, I am not sure of the correct position of the secondary oil seal (hugging the bottom of the master cylinder piston).
The attached picture


taken from a very well documented video on rebuilding the master cylinder, seems to show that the wider side of that slightly conical seal should face the inside of the master cylinder. Am I correct?
I would appreciate your opinion! - Piero Bassi
