If a new master cylinder is available, why bother with trying to rebuild an=
old one? I know that a rebuild kit is just a few dollars, but sending it o=
ff to have it rebuilt adds a lot to the cost. I have never rebuilt a maste=
r that was available new. Time is money and bent panels and paint repair a=
re too, beside being dangerous. I learned very early in my mechanic learni=
ng to renew the brake fluid at least on an annual basis. This saves compon=
ents from failure and adds long life to them. Wilwood and others make exce=
llent replacement masters for the TR3 and they are at the most $80 new. At=
this cost, it does not make sense to rebuild one. I understand the TR6 ha=
s a different style master and may be more costly.=20
Good luck for good brakes.=20
