Clutch Master Rebuild - anyone see this before?

[milhouse]

I'm in the process of rebuilding my clutch master cylinder and upon pulling it apart I found that the spring has a resin-like substance cast onto the end. The green bible shows that there should be a metal clip at that end of the spring instead. Has anyone seen this before? The resin appears to be decent, but it is chipped a little and as long as I have it pulled apart I am more inclined to make it as it should be. I'm not sure if this is a replacement/hack that a previous owner did or if it is a standard replacement item. If not, is there anywhere to get a replacement spring and metal clip?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this helps but this is what mine looked like taken apart.

Thanks for the pictures Neil, they actually did help. From your pictures it looks as though the part/clip I'm talking about is actually plastic (?). The more I look at my parts and do research, the more I'm thinking this is a replacement cylinder that was put on years ago... when I removed mine it did not have a gasket between the master cylinder and the bracket, and in addition to that clip not being there the piston has an extra o-ring on it in addition to the seal itself.

Although the pieces seem to be a bit odd everything is cleaning up well (including the bore) so I'm having a hard time justifying spending the money on a brand new one. Does anyone still have an old master cylinder (or just the internal parts) that they're looking to get rid of??
