Master Cyl, need sleeves g

[Burd]

Update, master looked great, he painted it black, correct for F body, and......no brakes.
Had to put the old master back on, and send it back. Very disappointed. But let’s see what they do. His mechanic says it must be the sleeve.

MIne came back about a week ago. Looks great. Unfortunately mine won't be installed soon to check it. My car won't be ready for at least 6 to 8 months to install it.

What do people think on here about White post stating that there would be NO warranty if Silicone Fluid is used.
I have used many White Post Masters and used Silicone in most due to being used in restored cars and the Silicone is protective of paint.
In Short White Post literally re-coils at the mention of Silicone Fluid....What gives on this tidbit? Comments?

Yup I’m wondering the same thing or anyone care to share what the charge for a sleeve and rebuild? Thanks

I want to say with the quicker turnaround price included it was like $350 I’ll confirm.
Now I’m glad I just bought new wheel cylinders for the back instead of bs’n around with the OG ones.

I have one at Karps right now, I think the quote was $275, but that was 3 months ago and it's not back yet.

I was wrong on the price, it was $175. So they did it again for him. Getting it on and bled today. I hope it’s good.

Receive the Master Cylinder back from White Post i paid extra 25% to returned back in 3 days painted in Black before installed and bleeding the MC on the bench but unfortunately not working properly on the car the brake pedal go to the floor we bleed again the complete system and not help this MC have internal bleeding problem i returned back to White Post and they replace the rear piston due to corrosion and sent me back again installed on the car still same problem pedal go to the floor no preassure on MC, i asumme the sleeve is the problem not the piston's call tomorrow to White post to see what they do. keep informed (by the way with my current master cylinder the car brakes perfect)

It’s not doing the kit that’s hard, it’s the sleeve. Btw, it still goes to the floor. So not sure how What Whitepost is going handle this. So much for paying extra to express the whole thing.
He put the non/ correct master back on and the brakes are fine. So. It is their rebuild they did it twice and sill it’s no good.

Sounds like White Post isn't the one to go with anymore... You would think, they would have a way of testing each master before shipping.
