No Signals Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Anyone had a brake master cylinder machined and sleeved to give it a new lease of life? Any recommendations regarding quality, economy, turnaround time etc? (Lockheed/Bedford MW) cheers Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Past Parts. They relined the C8 master. Not cheap, about £200ish, but very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Agree Pastparts, did a super job on the QL master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Daymond Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 can't you get one from Bygone Bedford? Or you could try Hindles in Bradford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Trouble with NOS is the O, they are still 60 odd years old. Have to say I'd now go for the relining route. As Pastparts point out, because it came off your vehicle and they dont alter the outside, you KNOW it's the right one and fits. If the master is beibng done, might you not consider doing teh wheel cylinders as well? So often new master more presure wheel cylinders give up. Get the lot done at once, new synthetic fluid and cupro nickel pipe, forget, it's going to be the great great great grand kids problem.

No Signals Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks fellas. A guy is asking £245 +vat for a NOS, so there isnt much in it. I'll probably get a spare as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
