Back home now, from one tractor to another I've taken the clutch master
and slave cylinders off the Beemer. The seals actually look ok, but do
feel a little "thin". I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jk4zEehdg where the creator decided to
use the seals from a KTM 13mm kit - which seemed like a great idea. I checked the usual dealers and the kit is ~70 quid for a couple of seals,
a spring, and not much else.
A swift Google later and I've a few kits on their way from Aliexpress
all at around 50p a set.
The slave cylinder I think is just a simple o-ring, I'll strip that
later on.
What could possibly go wrong?

I hate to be the one to tell you, but ...
Let's just say we're hoping for the best and nothing ventured,
nothing gained, eh?

Well, I dismantled the slave cylinder and lucikly the piston and circlip only flew a short distance, otherwise that would've needed either a replacement or a (desperately needed, I will get to it at some point) 6 month sort out of the garage.
It's not just a simple o-ring seal, but another of the cup type as used
on the master. Again the seal looks ok, no tears or signs of rot.
I am tempted just to put it all back together and refill with mineral oil.
