Hi!
Does anyone know what diameter the hole called X should have?

I don't know the diameter but it's tiny... less than 1mm I'd guess... :thumbs:

Can't think why you would need to know. It must be set at manufacture and for a reason.

Could be that the MC is being lined and that hole needs to be drilled in the new liner ?

Ok. Probably that's my problem.
I have a resleeved master cylinder and the X-hole is more than 3mm.
I got small slices of rubber from the sealing swimming around in the brake fluid..
And the sealing looks like on the pictures.
I can't feel any sharp edges in the hole, but if it's that big i suppose the sealing presses up in the hole when the oil pressure rise.
