If you rebuild your own (very simple I might add), instead of buying a rebuild kit, buy a complete similar rebuilt master cylinder. You can buy the rebuilt master for less money then the rebuild kit. At least that has been my experience.

That's exactly what I did. And here I thought I was being uniquely crafty lol It was actually because I couldn't source a rebuild kit when I did it.

Whitepost. Really fast service. I have sent several over the years. I fedex them there on a Monday morning and have always had them back before Friday. One time I had it back Wed afternoon!. They sleeve them.
Note: If you want the original finish left alone, like on a survivor car, make sure you tell them beforehand so they don't paint it. |

Just a heads up. I checked in on mine and they are a little backed up 2 to 3 weeks.

HA! that's a bit better than Karps. They took 4 months on mine. It takes a lot for me to rip on someone, but when a company tells you 3 times over 3 months that it'll be done that very week, we have an issue. I sent my last resleeve to LoneStar brakes and they performed as I expected. They'll get my next one.
Rebuilding a master is a simple gig, but you need to source the best seals you can. Dealing with 2 stroke bikes will teach you this in a hurry. |

I have never had any luck with rebuilt masters even when the cars were only ten years old.
They would work for a month to a year and then started to leak and bleed off pressure. Since then I have always used new and never had an issue. I would only trust a quality sleeved master cylinder bore I'm done with honed bore masters. If one could locate a core from a dry climate area then maybe it might work.

he got it back the other day, there was a small charge to expedite the rebuild, it’s painted and ready to go on the SD. They even had the correct cap for 74, and it was plated factory Correct also.
