Just a quick question,
I've drained my front brakes and now because I could'nt bleed them and think it might be the master cylinder. So I've took it apart and just wanted to check I'm putting it back right.
I've looked on line and in the manual but the images I found weren't detailed enough ( plus I think it's best to check ).
So in the picture have I got the parts laid out correctly.

Thanks

Thanks Steve.
My concern is knowing if the two black seals get wider in the same direction or opposite.

It goes without saying wait until someone who has done this replies........ and in future take a photo when disassembling.... we've all done it, take it apart thinking its obvious how it goes back together.

Lever < < hose
.......... seals.

This is what I would expect. It means the fluid pushes against the seal causing it to 'expand' so creates a better seal.

Both pointing in the same direction as the second seal is a failsafe, plus when the piston retracts, if one of the seals was opposite round, it would create too much resistance.
 
Here's a photo that confirms what I've said, same orientation as above.
