Typical how one job turns into another , I opted to remove wing and my removeable battery tray for better access
realised the removed ball joints are original copper coated items with hardened balls and full cast bases far superior to modern ones
nice article here on them

Painted longitudinal arm and both drop arms
Put new oil seal in relay top I had in waiting for right time
Noticed the master cylinder freshly leaking so cleaned off all bubbled paintwork to footwell and painted with POR antirust then the green top coat
Pondered getting a genuine seal kit for MC but they were £25 , didn’t fancy the cheap ones ,, do they work ?
so bit the bullet and ordered new Delphi MC, coming next week £85
, May try a cheap kit and keep
as a spare
