They are ordinary, general purpose pry bars.  Get them at any hardware store.  (In the US anyway.)

I've got a drawer full of various sizes.

I'm not sure what brake fluid has in it these days but in the 1970s when many Triumph cars were on the road the main ingedient was sunflower oil.  During my appenticeship with Lockheed brakes I recall being told that the biggest difference between brake fluid and margarine was the water content.

Glycol based DOT3 brake fluid was standard spec for Triumphs at least back into the 60s.

Previous DOT 2 Fluid was castor oil based.

ok so its just a case of sourcing suitable seals, installing and flushing before refilling with silicone and informing your insurer👍

I'm not sure most insurers would know what to do with that information.

Heating to soldering temperatures won't hurt the brass.  The part has to be pretty clean, though, with all grease or oil removed.

if they are like the trunions on the TR6 and GT6, i believe they all had a crimprd bottom disc. I understand rhat some aftermarket parts are prone to leaking.  Solder is a good fix.
