[Shop-talk] Sleeving a hydraulic clutch cylinder

[Wayne]

Randall, et al:
How do you keep an old car like that going? Some stuff you're obviously 
gonna have to fab' or improvise. I guess it depends on how determined 
you are to keep it original. It seems like other enthusiasts would have 
figured something like "oh! just go to AutoZone and score the M.C. for a 
{insert modern car here}; it's practically a drop-in with just a little 
line bending."

Would it possibly be easier to over-bore the cylinder, and fabricate a 
matching piston & rod assy?
