Re: Re: IML: rust on master cylinder

["Frederick Joslin" <fljoslin@xxxxxxxx>]

I got the new refurbished master cylinder today on the way home from work. Schucks (Parts America) has these master cylinders available for $25 + a $10 core charge. I have some special rust preventative paint which has a hammertone (hammered) finish which is very similar to the eastwood Encapsulator paint. I removed the master cylinder top and cleaned it and the master cylinder body with brake cleaner and spray painted each with this paint in gloss black.

Also, I have sent my calipers to calipersonline to get replacements. They should have received the cores and payment but I have not heard from them after having called and left a message and e-mailed so I am a little nervous.  Right now I have no calipers and am out over $420. I will keep my fingers crossed.

One thing I would add is that if you do find
rust on the inside of the master cylinder and
you decide to sand it off you have to be
careful not to get carried away and change the
inside diameter of the area where the pushrod
(or whatever it's called) goes. If there is
not a tight seal there you can have leakage and
it may also cause the cylinder not to function
properly.
