' but it needs to be screwed further so the set screw can sit on the flat.'
But doesn't this have to occur for the reservoir inlet to be vertical too??

Yes, If you use the AP instructions with the latest master cylinder assy, then the shortcoming becomes apparent.

How can it "not fit" then? The fact that the 13mm master cylinder needs adjusting differently has been discussed.
Is that extremely important piece of information and how to adjust it correctly included with the 13mm master cylinders sold by AN?

I asked for clarification about various comments you made in a previous thread regarding master cylinders but there was no reply (and no photos).

New Rear Master Cylinder not performing well
Thank you LAB for looking at my details. I simply keep putting items back as found. I ordered the big 7/16" nut with shoulder. I will switch the clevis pin if possible. Thanks again for all your technical expertise and time on this forum.

AP instructions? Not sure how old mine was/is, but it came with AN printed sheet from Hungerford. As I will be doing a caliper overhaul sometime, I hope to find the optimum position (as far as it's possible within a complete turn) by 'back filling' the Master cylinder sans reservoir from the caliper to find exactly when the inlet port is obscured, then turn them until the flat (and consequently the reservoir) are at their correct orientation....
(NB: I'm currently doing the job in my head, 'hands on' may throw up anomalies
)I could strip both side by side, but just by looking at the piston under the circlip there is visual difference. Sadly this Covid has been keeping me more busy than normal in more than one way. The sooner it goes I should have more time not have to share access to a warm workshop to strip them.@Madnorton

If the fitting instructions sent with the 13mm master cylinders aren't accurate then, as it is to do with brakes I would have thought it should be a matter of some urgency to provide the correct instructions.
