Fogbro1,
Why rebuild? - Because we can!
And I resemble that remark.

Subject: Re: tr3b brakes - broken bleed nipple and old age
Question: Doesn't anyone ever consider replacing 38 year old brake
cylinders with new ones? Why are we, and notice that I said "we", always
looking for the least expensive way out? Is it because we had no money
when we first owned these cars years ago and, thus, do so out of habit?
I myself have an entire bucket full of old rear brake cylinders. Why? I
can't imagine ever using them. We are indeed becoming a bunch of old
farts. If any of you were at Carlisle, you'd know what I mean. I had to
go join the generation X'er's at the Power Jam on several occasions,
just to prove I wasn't already dead. One young dude, who had ventured
into the Import area, was heard to say: "Just a bunch of old guys
selling their shit to another bunch of old guys."
Here I go rambling on again....
Just asking.
