hi:   because it is expensive to have White Post Restorations do it,   i
thougt that i might try sleving a brake wheel cylinder with brass myself.
i plan to start with a scrap cylinder.   does anyone know the general
proceedure ?

 i guess the following:      1.    use lathe to bore cylinder oversize  (how
much ?)
                                     2.    insert brass bushing   ( how
tight ?  heat cylinder first ?  )
                                     3.    bore brass to original inner
diameter.
                                     4.    drill holes for feed line and
bleed hole.

           comments from the vast store of knowledge of this group
appreciated.
