This begs the question... "Why?"
Why resleeve a master cylinder when a replacement is currently
available? Only a "dyed in the wool" freak for originality would
pay more to resleeve anything than it would cost for new, new old
stock or what ever...
Unless the part was totally irreplaceable... Like "company's gone
out of business, none, repeat none of the originals are left...
gone forever... you'll not see them again... finished... kaput"...
Yeah then I'd probably have it resleeved... if a good new
substitute couldn't be found...
