[TR] Brake master cylinder and servo rebuild

[thenicholls at verizon.net]

To the list,

1972 Triumph TR6.

Have original brake master cylinder and servo.  Noticed brake fluif coming out at the bottom of the master where it is bolted to the servo.  Have cleaned and driven the car, it is a slow leak.

Discussed with Randall, contacted TRF to see about Girling replacement.  MC backordered, they have a replacement, but not Girling.  Servo is a repro, the two about $485.

Have reviewed the list on this topic, and it looks like Apple Hydraulics is the way to go.  I would want a full rebuild of both (why not), and their website says both for $300.  I have had carbs done by Paltech, came back and looked brand new.  Had fuel pump rebuilt by TRF, came back and looked brand new.  Had distributor rebuilt by Advanced Distributors, came back and looked brand new.  You see where I am going here?  Can someone on the list who has gone through this process with Apple confirm their work?  From everything I read, they do a great job.  Do they paint the servo?  I would like some input from someone who has gone through this recently.

I am not a rebuild kind of guy, but I have removed and reinstalled everything above.  It appears to be fairly simple to remove both, plug the brake lines, drain the fluif, remove the plastic reservoir, ship them the whole thing, they return with the gaskets to reinstall the reservoir, bolt it back up, top off and bleed the brakes. 

Thanks in advance,
