Pants! broken C2 Master Cylinder cap

[johnnyvee]

By being a little too heavy handed last week I seem to have messed up the master cylinder cap on my Hope Sport lever. Perhaps I need to put up pictures and will do so on request. The thumb adjuster now slides through the cap which seems to indicate that the circlip and/or spring washer are no longer functional. In fact I think the spring washer has pinged off in pieces. They are shown as items 22 and 24 in the Hopetech exploded diagram or parts HBSP 22 and HBSP 24.

Can anybody confirm if this is an easy job to replace them and do Hope still do them - if not can I source the parts from somewhere else?

Many thanks to anyone who can offer any help or advice on this.

I love having an old bike but not the pain trying to fix it.... [/quote]

Having had a few minutes in the garage it seems,like the circlip is to blame...don't suppose anyone knows what size it is?

Cheers to big.eck be good if you do have the required bit . In picture below I've tried to point to it with the end of a screwdriver but its not very clear as black inside black. The adjusted is in the middle and on the shaft is a collar under which the external circlip fits - its around 6.8mm diameter there and shoulder is around 7.15mm per my calipers. The shaft fits through the cap on the far right and external circlip holds it in place under the collar against the spring washer on the other side. Not sure if my description is any help and at moment I'm not willing to take other one apart.
May even be able to pick up what I need from a motor factors but not sure if these are standard sizes....

Thanks if you can help...

I need the same part too, HBSP22 but the only supplier i could find kept sending me the piston circlip instead.

I'd be interested too.

My usual source of single circlips is my local bearing supplier.

I spoke to someone at Hope about a set of these the other week. As far as I remember, they don't have much left for them these days (only seals IIRC). Might be worth giving them a ring anyway, they might have what you're looking for.

Resolved this with a purchase of 7mm external circlips off eBay. I had to buy 10 so have a few left. If anyone wants a couple drop me a pm and for the cost of a stamp I will happily send them on, though it'll have to be sometime next week as at a family wedding this weekend.
