Robert,
Terry listed many good ideas. The TR6/TR250 Brake
Master will require 2 sleeves at 60 each...at least
when I talked to them. I think they can bore it
oversized as well. This would require oversized
seals. I decided to go NEW & purchase through BPNW.
At $173 they seemed to be the best deal. And
rebuilding 2 different BMCs got a little old when they
started leaking! If yours is pitted at all...you may
go through the same thing if you try to rebuild.
Recently, I found a company in Dayton, OH Vintage
Imports. Tons of NOS stuff...like walkin' back in
Time.
Matt with Vintage Imports quoted $150 for a NEW Brake
Master cylinder(NFI). Thought that was a pretty good
price compared to the big 3:)
