Looking for information on a good shop to restore the master cylinder for my 69 Z/28.
Thank you

Send it to White Post.
They will SS sleeve it, and guarentee it for life.

Ask for Billy - very nice guy.

Be careful that you get your original parts back. They often swap your original unit out for something else. Even though they will deny it. They hammered me twice. Once on a 309 master cylinder and sent me a rusted up piece of crap, and once again on a set of 4 piston calipers that were not the same casting as I sent. I will never send them anything again...BKH

Brian,

Comments like that are all it takes to set me straight!

I hadn't heard that. NOT GOOD.

It has been a while since I had WP do anything for me, in the past I never had a problem.

You can send it to the Cardone rebuild and return program.
call 800-777-4780 ext 4780 for details - They will commercialy rebuild it, not SS sleeve it.

Or try Steve Gregory at brakeboosters.com might be able to help guide you somewhere.

If you send it out to a commercial rebuilder, make sure you keep your lid. I made the mistake of sending mine off with the original lid and got a generic replacement back.

Even though both of the parts were "found", it was not a pretty site. This was two seperate times, not the same order. I gave them the benifit of the doubt the first time. The second time was non excusable to me. These parts are way to valuable and I just do not need the BS...BKH

Found this website surfing. I have never used these people, but giving them a call couldn't hurt.
