There was a small dent on the outer surface of the exhaust pipe - first, I was considering wrappping it with a heat tape, which is highly fashionable among the builders now, but this solution later seemed to me rather cheap - visually and mostly in terms of renovation. Luckilly, it was possible to reshape the dent after heating it with a heat gun and using a pointed iron rod through the inner side so that no welding was eventually needed.
After cleaning, smoothening and polishing, the pipes regained original look. Surprisingly, the ring on the top of the pipe. where it is mounted to the cylinder, is made of plain steel and not a stainless (as the pipes are). It will be later on painted with a heat resistant colour.
Secondly, here is the new kit for the rear master cylinder
Condition of the former inner functional parts was as follows:
Applying a film of the vaseline
Pushing it down
And locking the rod with a circlip
