Phil-
Here are two that I have heard referenced in the past. I have heard outside
the list that both are excellent, although I have only had personal
experience with the second. The prices may have changed as they are from
'99. Hope this is helpful.
1) White Post Restorations (http://www.whitepost.com). They charged $80
a bore (complete -- disassemble, sleeve, new seals and reassemble).
Someone also said they do just the sleeves for $40 a bore. They use brass
instead of stainless.
2) Two years ago, I had my calipers sleeved by George Frechette General
Machine Service
in Granby, MA, (800) 528-5235. He uses 304 stainless and Locktites the
sleeves in, beautiful workmanship too. George charges $40.00 for each
caliper cylinder, he'll also do the master cylinder for $40.00 at the
same time (normally $55.00). About a two week turn around.
