Okay I took apart my master cylinder to rebuild it with a kit I got from Mikes xs. I'M usually pretty good about laying out the parts I take out to help with re-assembly, but this time there was one little rubber thing that goes between the spring and push rod(?) that I'm not exactly sure which way it points. I have my thoughts but I'm hoping someone that has had a few of these apart may be able to help me as I'd hate to get this thing back together wrong. I'll post two pictures A & B and please let me know which sequence these things go. Thanks

EXAMPLE A


EXAMPLE B

Thanks jayel! You answered that in 3 minutes, next time I'd like my answer a little quicker! And by the way A is what I was thinking and what looked correct to me but you just never know! Thanks again!

No, a question is only dumb when it's not asked!
