Master Cyl, need sleeves g

[Burd]

Anyone have a shop to sent a master to to sleeve? Anyone here on the site?

Just sent my 70 L78 master cylinder to white post restorations for the same problem. I've heard nothing but good about them. https://whitepost.com/

I've used White Post and Karp's, great service from both.

Yep, White Post, quick turn

Apple hydraulics did mine. Good service.
The research I did seemed to favor a brass sleeve rather than stainless the master cylinder bore is very thin wall and the higher stress of a SS sleeve had reports of cracking the casting if the interference fit isn’t perfect.

Did they rebuild your master cylinder or just sleeve it. Anyone rebuild there own master cylinder?

I've done it. Very easy to do as long as your bore isn't too bad. You might be able to get away with just honing it. If it just needs seals, that's a no brainer.

Thanks for the info. I’ll pass it to a friend. I’ll get pics from who he sends it to and post them. ����

I think I got my rebuild kits at NAPA. Pretty easy to do

Yup I just bought one from Napa my self! I’m pretty good with mechanics so i figured it can’t be that hard.
