Hi Ron,

I have to say that based on my own personal experience that Apple Hydralics is
a NO GO on the Brake MC rebuild for a TR-6 -- I wanted them to brass sleeve it
and they said they couldn't because of the "stepped-bore" on the inside. I'd
say just get a new one or go to a place that actually will put in a same
diameter sleeve.

That said I did have my brake MC honed at a local shop and then I put in some
new seals. I didn't expect it to last much more than 3-4 months. But it is
still leak free a year later (not driven too much) So YMMV.
