White Post did a "sleeve only" job on my Bugeye master cylinder a year ago.
They also include instructions on how to re-assemble the cylinder and the care
that should be taken to do it.  They may have done a sleeve only because I had
them re-finish the outside of the casting with a grey cast iron epoxy like
coating.  Made it cost a little more.  Looks great though.
