Who have you guys used for wheel cylinder and master cylinder sleeving.

Apple Hydraulics

They are good. I have used them. They did everything on my Franklin in brass.

Thanks, Steve.

I guess that brass will be OK.
I'm going to use regular brake fluid.
I hear to much "stuff" about silicone fluid.

Thanks again.

I've used Apple a number of times with satisfaction. BTW all my cars use DOT 5. The vette has it in for at 20 years now. No problems...........Bob

I have excellent results with stainless sleeves, and have used Dot 5 fluid. The sleeves must have a mirror finish or silicone fluid will seep past the rubber cups. Jim L

I had my chrysler 1928 model 52 with stainless, about $50.00 per wheel. Works Great.

The Master was around $75.00
