    53 Super master cylinder question

    hi, brand new member. Have a 53 Super, Dynaflow with manual brakes. Has been in our family since '75. Removed the master cylinder yesterday to diagnose disappearing brake fluid (wheels are dry, must be the master cylinder, which does show some wet areas). Bore is pretty good, but some small pitting/wear areas. Wondering who might do re-boring and sleeve job, and what it would cost? Or, are NOS units still available out there? It would probably work ok with a simple rebuild kit, but I plan to keep this car in the family for many years to come, and might as well do it right.
    Thanks!

    Try BRAKE & EQUIPMENT WAREHOUSE in Nordeast Minneapolis....455 Harrison Street N.E.....612.378.3141.
    I'm sure that they got everything you might be looking for. I've used them several times.

    hi, thanks again for the tip. I called Brake Warehouse, and Rob will do a bore and re-sleeve for me next week.

    Hi Barry,

    Let us know how it works out. I also have a '53 Super (4dr sedan) that has been in our family since 1970.
