John is correct. You can see the entire active area of the booster through the MC mounting hole. I didn't know that, and it appears that you can do all of the washing/rinsing/drying that way. Mine was brim-ful of fluid, nasty brownish red fluid that must have been there for a while.
Did you know that Beck-Arnley marketed(markets?) an over-bored master cylinder for Alfas? And on the _bottom_ of the cylinder there's a nice sticker that says "only rebuild with oversized seal kits from Beck-Arnley"? I'll bet you can guess how I found out. (Hint: you can't see it from the top and it's hard to see the bottom of a mounted MC.)
I gave up on finding oversized rebuild kits for this. In fact, I thought it so ludicrous that I didn't even ask the places I called (well, maybe once or twice; and if I knew the size of the cylinder, I proably could find it, anyway. I think Centerline lists 20 mm and 22 mm bore kits.). My local BAP-GEON store found a suitable Beck-Arnley MC in stock in a sister store, but I called them a few minutes too late for me to get to the other store and purchase it before closing. So I'll have to wait until Monday, but at least I can have it early Monday. Noon-time fix? If I had known....
