Hello all
I have a scratched brake main cylinder and need to fix it?
Does anyone know a shop that does a repair :confused:?
I hope someone can help me with this.
Thank you

Do you mean master cylinder? and are going to drive it afterwards?

Honing the bore will make it larger and the seals will not be as tightly supported by their respective pistons thereby reducing the cylinder to scrap.

Smart + others :)
Is it worth repairing such a major safety related part that costs so little? I'm sure a front bumper and lights will be treble the cost of a cylinder.

"Resleeve" is the word you want to use in google to find somebody local. With new seals it will cost almost as much as a new one, usually only worthwhile if they are not available new.

Finding new 1968 master cylinders is not easy, there are specialist firms that re build like new, I have mislaid the link but I will find it
