Hi Dan

Thanks for posting the list of brake specialty places, I've only used one of them http://www.whitepost.com/ but they are really good. I've used White post to sleeve the wheel and master cylinders on three of my big 1940,s antique military trucks. Sleeving the cylinders is a permanent fix for the problem of pitted or rusted bores.

Happen to be doing a brake job on one of the trucks now, minor master cylinder leak, the cylinders were sleeved in 1990. I'll post a picture of what bores look like now, no visible or measurable wear. So the brake job is clean the lines and replace the rubber parts. Only problem with having a permanent fix for the cylinders is that you have to replace the rubber parts by the calender.

Cheers Phil

This is why periodic replacement of brake fluid is necessary, although any moving part cannot last forever.

Thanks for the input, Phil. I may add them to the list of Usual Suspect vendors.
