C 1 Master Cylinder, Resleave???

[William B.]

My 59 "022" master cylinder has pitting in the bore and needs resleaved. I saw a number of people in hemmings that resleave but no one in the driveline. Does anyone have a good person to recomend? This board before recomend Jay Maxell and John Pirkle to me for different operations, and I believe both of them are "THE BEST IN THEIR FIELD". The work they did for me was excellent.

Bill,
Many have had master cylinders satisfactorily resleeved by White Post Restorations in White Post, Virginia. I've heard their turn-around time is excellent and cost is reasonable. Some like SS sleeves best, some prefer brass sleeves. I don't remember which they do. Look them up in Hemmings or on the Net.
There should be a plausible number of past posts ... search the archives.

White Post does the brass sleeve. Most of the vendors that do the stainless steel sleeved calipers do master cylinders.

I used White Post for my Master Cly and all my wheel cly's
and all my brake shoes
Workmanship is top notch.
I would use them again in a heartbeat

As others have stated, White post will do the complete operation, including rebuild. If you want to do your own installation of the rebuild kit after the resleeving is complete....Apple Hydraulics will do just that for about half the cost of the complete rebuild. Both use brass sleeves.
