Hi TC fans
I need some help concerning the up coming rebuild of my braking system and need to know where to get new wheel cylinders and a new complete master cylinder. Who has the best ones in the US. What kind of new seal for the rear axle are the best. Thanks

How about getting the ones you have bored and sleeved with some nice
nonferrous material. I had apple hydraulics do mine a few years back, and it
went quite well.

Hi john, I am sleaving the original TC cylinders with a heavy bronze sleave
and installing a new bronze tube complete, not a sleave into the original TC
master cylinder can. I have been doing this for about 15 years with very
good results. The cylinders are $85.00 each exchange and the new bronze tube
(completely machined) is $95.00. You have to use your old pistons and Moss
sells the rebuild kits. Mike Goodman

I purchased a rebuilt cylinder from NTG back in 1995. It sat on the shelf
until last year. I have been disappointed ever since in the performance
especially the pedal going to the floor after the first push. I assume that
there is a misalignment of the bleed hole in the cylinder.
Its too late to return so I got out my original cylinder last weekend and
refurbished using rubbers from Moss. The piston appeared in fairly good
condition the outside of the can was the worst bit and there was a lot of
surface corrosion which can off with wet and dry sandpaper. The end result
seems to be holding up well.
The moral if you are buying a " refurbished " or remanufactured unit, make
sure that the tolerances are correct.
