Right my master cylinder has gone kaput.
So ive decieded i should look for a kit to rebuild it, as the master cyliner is 120 pounds from peugeot and no one has a spare cylinder.
Should i be looking for the piston size to match?
or
Should i be looking for the diameter of the master cylinder to match?
Im guessing just the seal inside if broked as it made loads of brake fluid run down the pipe and cylinder onto my leg..
So will

From top left to bottom right;
Circlip: this holds the piston in place within the master cylinder.
Dust seal: this is the rubber you can see on the outside of the cylinder.
Piston: That's what pushes the fluid, the two rubber seals are what most have gone on your old one.
Spring: this goes in before the piston, to push back the piston after it's compressed the fluid in order to brake.
Yes, that lot should be enough to rebuild it, but i don't really understand your first questions. Can't you just tell whoever what bike you've got and then ask for a master cylinder repair kit for it?
