Nobody makes brake repair kits anymore?
I need to rebuild my master and wheel cylinders. Are we supposed to throw out perfectly rebuildable items now? Anybody know a source? Chris 65 Ghia 12V 1800 60 Type 1 6V 36HP split-case trans |

Havnt seen a "factory kit" for yonks but in Aust there are master cylinder
rebuilders who bore out the cylinder and set in a stainless steel or brass ( from memory) "sleeve" and fit new seals to suit the sleeve. Not just VW types, any brand. Might be worth asking a few brake repair specialists if there is some near you. With the price of new wheel cylinders, repair kits are probably superfluous. Though the quality is so poor I generally order an extra so I can fix the new one!. John "KWW" wrote in message ...
