They used to be the only place. And still do good work. You will not be sorry

White post did a nice job on mine.

Doesn't White Post only do brass sleeving?

I Believe Richard Fortier From MICHIGAN Still Sleeves Master Cylinders . He Does The Extra Step Of Staking The Sleeve . Peter

Try ---->https://brakeandequipment.com/ They have done two 63 MC for me as well as some wheel cylinders. I'm happy with results and price.

As far as I know Joe they still do. I know of some of their work that is going on 40 years old with no problems. Brass ain't a gonna wear out in a M/C or wheel cylinder.

I agree. I was not implying that brass was inferior.

As far as material goes, even cast iron would not be a wear problem, at all. It's that water that gets into the system that causes the problems. If the cars had silicone fluid from the beginning there probably wouldn't be a sleeved caliper or master cylinder out there.

If they had silicone in them in humid areas H2O would still be a problem. Silicone, as you know is not hydroscopic, but moisture still gets in the system. It forms little pockets that may gather in the M/C, lines or calipers and basically never move, creating corrosion in limited, but still problematic areas. I believe it is the reason the military, who BTW uses silicone in all their hydraulic brake systems, flush the braking systems annually to prevent this from happening.

Dick,
How does moisture get into the system if the fluid is not hygroscopic? Hydroscopic is not the word you want -- look it up.

Re: who to sleeve a master cylinder?

I'm sure White Post can do acceptable work, but on two separate occasions I sent them a complete set of four wheel cylinders to be sleeved. On each occasion I had to return at least one cylinder to be reworked. I have since switched to Apple Hydraulics and have had zero problems. http://www.applehydraulics.com/

Re: who to sleeve a master cylinder?

I have used Apple hydraulics many times, never a problem, quick turn around, very reasonable.

Lone Star Caliper and Brake in Texas is another quality source for this work.

Thus last week Richard Fortier told me he is no longer able to resleeve brake master cylinders. The guy who did the resleeving for Richard is no longer able to do that work and he was the only person Richard used.
