Joe;
Yes, I did hone the cylinder. Thought I did a decent enough job, but I knew it
was
going to be marginal and as it turns out I should have come off some cash and
had it
re-sleeved. I've promised to a) drive it more and b.) change the brake fluid
like
every 2 years - I might have avoided this problem. I've rebuilt a lot of
clutch,
master and wheel cylinders and this is the first one to leak, so I guess my
record
isn't all that bad. :) I'll stop kicking myself and do the job right this
time.
