MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Master Cylinder Seals

I am rebuilding the dual master for my bugeye with the Mosss seal kit. I am ready to install the metal pistons, but the secondary seals seem too big to go into the bores.

They seem to be seated properly in the groove. Do I just force the piston down to compress the seal?

Thanks, Jim

It's the correct kit I think. The other seals are the correct diameter.

Problem solved. I had it installed wrong so the seal did not fully seat in the groove.
