Slow down -- Girling cylinders don't stick of thier own accord something else is wrong -- Make sure you haven't been lubricating it with
WD40 which is very bad for brake seals.
Clean it out check the bore for scores and fit a new kit lubricate with lots of red rubber grease to keep water out.
Most of the cylinders suitable for balance bar set ups are just straight copies of the Girling unit anyway and use the same seals and internals.
