O.K. here we go again on a different tack of the same subject. The master
cylinder in my #1 Bugeye had a copper sleave installed some 15 to 20 years ago
on the advice of my machinist (who has since passed away). As an aside, it
cost me $10 plus tax on the copper sleave at the time. This MC has been in the
car since with only one parts rebuild. It still works fine but is starting to
leak a little around the push rods. From the mail I have received and people
that I have spoken with, its running about 50/50 for/against success with
resleaving. I would like to hear from anyone that has done it and how it has
worked out so far. If you remember you might also add where you had it done.
If everyone is tiring of this brake talk, yell and I will shut up.
