Well, I'm more than grateful for all the replies concerning
my leaky master cylinder question. It's clearly an issue
near to many. I have thought about the fact that the clutch
is depressed more OFTEN than the brake, but I believed
that the longer DURATION of brake actuation (sometimes for
minutes, waiting at lights, and so forth) would have a compensating
effect. I guess what can be concluded is that it's the wiping
action of actuation more than applying static pressure that
causes wear.
I think I will get a re-sleeving job done. I'm really tempted
to try installing a stainless sleeve myself (using a
machine shop facility). What are the tolerances on the bore diameter
and requirements on surface finish for the cylinder bore?
I noticed that White Post will do a bronze sleeve. How long do
those last?
Full of questions,
Tim Drabik
