Dandy Dave Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have a friend who needs the master and wheel cylinders sleeved. Who would you recommend for quality work, and a fast turn around time. Stainless steel or brass? Any comment on the subject?These are for an early 50's Mercedes Benz I am helping with. Thanks, Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary Hearn Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 White Post does great work, but I would inquire on the turn around time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Braverman Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Apple Hydraulics had mine done the next day. They recommend brass, but do both brass and stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Brass would make sense as it is easier to work with. Stainless is not as easy to turn and can be a little harder to get a good finnish on. I thought it would be better to let those who sleeve these all the time do them rather than do it myself. By the time figgure out how to do it, set up a machine, and get the material, and hope in the end it comes out right, they will have them all done. Brakes, on such a nice and rare car, are something I don't want any second guessing on. Thanks for the advice fellows. Dandy Dave!
