If all else fails, try the yellow pages! I don't know about where you are,
but here in Sydney you can get master and slave cylinders bored out and
fitted with stainless steel sleeves, for much less than half the price of
new units. I once took my rear wheel cylinders to a place (on a Saturday
morning), and they already had some refurbished ones to exchange! I paid $45
for the pair, and $20 for the two rubber kits (at a shop around the corner).
The thieves at the Volvo dealership that I had been getting TR7 parts from
wanted $120 for one wheel cylinder and $30 each for the rubber kits. Moral:
let your fingers do the walking!
