Unless of course, I wanted to pay a 25% expedited fee. Given my scenario with a bad replacement M/C, the fee was the lesser of evil's. I kind of went over the edge with the $40 shipping and handling for regular ground UPS. Comparatively, it cost me $13 to ship it out there. I don't begrudge anyone of making a profit, and certainly value quality work. The experience though left me with a bit of a poor taste. I'll step off of the soap box now. Just thought I'd share........

So, I'm all set to hit the road. Naturally, I'm rewarded with a forecast containing 2-4" of snow tonight.
We had a similar experience with the master on our former '67 L36 Convertible and won't be going back to White Post because of it. Oh and our master did not work... twice.

As an alternative, I've received great service from Karp's Power Brake in Chino CA, both on masters and wheel cylinders.
IIRC, Karps uses stainless sleeves while WP uses brass??
WP has done one master for me that worked out well.
