There have been several good recommendations on the list for sleeving. I
went with George Frechette. It cost $60 + $8 S&H. I had it shipped
and returned within two weeks. This info is from his ad in Hemmings:
BRAKE cylinder sleeving with stainless steel, masters, $60;
clutch, wheel, calipers, $40; plus shipping; guaranteed work
and quick return. George Frechette, 14 Cedar Dr, Granby,
MA 01033, PH: 800-528-5235.
I've been talking with Classic Tube (http://www.classictube.com/) about
the stainless lines. Unless someone sends me some bad news about these
guys, I'm going to pull my brake and clutch lines this weekend and send
them off to them. They sell a set for one of the Tiger Mks, so suspect
there's some on the Tiger list that have worked with them before.
The guesstimated price is $185-$200. Standard steel is only $10-$20
less. They said standard is rated at 3K PSI bust pressure while the
stainless is 6K. I know material is only one factor, but it surprised
me as being opposite of what I expected. Assuming I go through with
this, I'll post the actual price once they have a chance to look a the
lines.
