As I hinted on before, I have just had my master cylinder & front wheel cylinders tarted up. One wheel cylinder came apart quite easily & was in very good condition. The other wheel cylinder was a different story & I was unable to pull them apart without resorting to hammers & punches. The master cylinder looked VERY ORDINARY to say the least, so I boxed them all up & sent them to a contact in Orange.
The parts arrived in Orange last Thursday morning, and the job was completed by Friday Lunchtime.
Resleeved all cylinders & reassembled, manufacture 2x front brake hoses, total cost $300 including freight. I should add that I supplied the wheel cylinder kits (NOS). They had a kit for the master cylinder in stock!
Their service is excellent. When I get back to work on Monday I will post their contact details here.
I like to think that the more work you do to your own project, the more satisfaction with the final product. I have tried to farm out as little as possible, and therefore, am massively behind where I thought I would be right now. Tony (Ganmain Tony, that is) has pulled his truck apart and sent parts & pieces all over the state & is now ready to start assembly. He is miles in front of me, but has spent the money to get there. Different strokes for different folks.
