update on the overhaul of the front end. i couldnt get any new seals from ford so iveused PTFE and some sealant to seal where it was leaking and seems like its been doing its job and its not critical to the function of the master cylinder but if it goes again i will buy a new one, ive also ground and sanded all the rust off the servo and cylinder, put rust killer on the areas effected then primed with etch primer and painted with gloss back followed by a couple of clear coats. ive also done the same with the rest of the braking mechanism. here are the pics.
