Question for PVS409

Doesn't seem like it would be that tough.
My understanding is that its not easy to get the stainless sleeve (or a brass sleeve) to not leak.
I have had to return at least one that did leak to be redone.
There were 2 companies doing the master cylinders in California - I had brass sleeves done at the one that retired a few years ago.
Karps Power Brake Service is the one I have been using.

Thanks Paul,
Would you text me a price at 405-219-4699. I have an old AOL email address and it isn't supported on this web site.
Mine doesn't appear to be pitted but I put a kit in it a few years ago and it is leaking again. May just try to ream it and put in a kit. Is DOT 5 more or less likely to leak than DOT 3? I would like to go to DOT 5.

I put silicone fluid in all my 62’s, that have sleeves. Not sure what dot # that is.
actually the sleeves are designed to stop leaks on the factory master cylinders with worn cylinders.
I will send pictures and price. I think i have one new NAPA kit for the master cylinder.
I keep & find good rubber gaskets for the cap since no new kit includes the large rubber washer for the lid
I have had about 8 - 62’s with sleeved screw top factory original master cylinders and I have sold about 10+ master cylinders with either brass or stainless sleeves - no leaks as I remember ( maybe had one leak - not sure I remember)
until recently no reproduction screw top factory style master cylinders were ever sold by parts places ( it’s been
50 years or more since new correct factory master cylinders were available), thats why I started having my originals sleeved and the caps & mounting screw zinc plated.
