5470409 master cylinder

[tom406]

pulled off of my power disc brake '72 Firebird-was leaking and at minimum needs a rebuild to use. Should fit in a USPS Med flat rate box, so for $13.00 shipping, its available to anyone in the USA:)

If it has the bleeders I'm interested. Shoot me your address and I will shoot you a company check.

[tom406]

Has bleeders, pm sent

Oh well. a day late and a dollar short. I shoulda checked in here yesterday. I could have used it for the 72 black Firebird. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif

Steve, it is just going on the shelf for future restorations. If it has not yet left maybe he could just ship it to you instead. If it has already left I can just send it onto you when it arrives. Just cover my freight. Let me know.

That would be wonderful! It's like the brotherhood of the traveling master cylinder. (Obscure kids' book reference relating to traveling &quot;pants&quot;) <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

Hasn't shipped yet. Haven't received/cashed Rick's check yet. You guys figure out if Steve's going to pay me/repay Rick, etc and I will send it off to where it needs to go:)

Rick if you haven't sent the check out yet, I can send a check tomorrow or paypal Tom immediately. PM me with an update.

Steve,
Per a PM from Tom my check arrived yesterday so I will just have him tear it up and you can send a check directly to him. This pay it forward thing works out quite nice. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

Tom, I paypalled you $15 so you have an extra couple bucks to cover the fee. Thanks again!
And thanks to Rick, too. It's like a double pay-it-forward scenario.

In the mail and on its way.....

[njsteve]

Arrived yesterday. Thanks for the all the help. It's just what I needed and the right part number/date code and everything.

Now I need to find a good rebuilder for it. Anyone have a recommendation?

[SS427]

Steve, does it need to be sleeved? (Adds a lot to the cost) I restore all of mine here at the shop and am surprised you would not restore your own as you take on pretty much everything. I should have thought about that before it got shipped to you..... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

[njsteve]

I PM'd Tom to ask what the replacement issue was - probably the leaky rear seal that they all get. Me rebuilding it isn't much of a problem but finding the right rebuilt kit usually is. Any recommendations there?

[SS427]

I have had very good luck with Raybestos. Never been an issue yet. I think the number is MK501

[njsteve]

Looks like MK1108 is the 1-1/8&quot; bore kit. I ordered a couple from Rockauto. I also bought a brake cylinder hone. There is some pitting in the rear about an inch in the bore. I'll see if can be lightly honed, otherwise it's sleevin' time. Do you recommend anyone for sleeving these things?

[SS427]

I used White Post Restorations and was very happy with them. All the sleeve vendors require you use Dot 3 fluids.

[njsteve]

Thanks for the info. I shipped it off to them this afternoon. I tried lightly honing the bore but the major pits didn't improve much. Better to do it properly the first time, especially when it's the correct &quot;original&quot; piece for my car.

[njsteve]

All restored and installed...and it works great! (after I sent it to Whitepost...and some minor headscratching....}
