Well, that sucks... hope that "new" one has a warranty and you can send it back for a full refund.

The master cylinder came back from White Post today, so I wasted no time getting that bled and installed. My goal of looking like nothing happened was achieved. I must admit, I was a bit disappointed with the experience. Originally, I was told 2-3 weeks when I shipped it in. I shipped it right away. That turned into 4-6 weeks after it arrived. Unless of course, I wanted to pay a 25% expedited fee. Given my scenario with a bad replacement M/C, the fee was the lesser of evil's. I kind of went over the edge with the $40 shipping and handling for regular ground UPS. Comparatively, it cost me $13 to ship it out there. I don't begrudge anyone of making a profit, and certainly value quality work. The experience though left me with a bit of a poor taste. I'll step off of the soap box now. Just thought I'd share........

So, I'm all set to hit the road. Naturally, I'm rewarded with a forecast containing 2-4" of snow tonight.

We had a similar experience with the master on our former '67 L36 Convertible and won't be going back to White Post because of it. Oh and our master did not work... twice.

As an alternative, I've received great service from Karp's Power Brake in Chino CA, both on masters and wheel cylinders.
IIRC, Karps uses stainless sleeves while WP uses brass??
WP has done one master for me that worked out well.

Bill S (olredalert) hooked me up with this virgin US Royal Laredo spare for the car. While the car has a good spare, now it has one that is gooder

[QUOTE=olredalert;1671800]----Great! As usual on this great sight, this transaction between Tim and I went so smoothly. It was a pleasure finding a great home for this unbelievable spare. That's all I hoped for when I saw it at B. Gold. So hard to find any U.S.Royal 66 only whitewall in any condition. Can't wait to see the judges eyeballs when this spare tire is displayed!....Bill S
