I'm with you there, I just thought I'd mention it as some here are still working on seriously tight budgets .

I used to hone and rebuild wheel cylinders but never was as happy doing it to master cylinders and in the late 1960's many M/C's had stepped bores that were close to impossible to hone out properly .

I'd sooner a clean and dry flushed junkyard M/C/ than a rebuilt one .

I bought a new ATE one for my gray market wagon when it failed .

Interesting...A canon of not wanting to use a cannon. Both could be appropriate.

Whoops.

Unless of course my use of “canon” was metaphorical...

To “print” parts, as one “prints” money, in a thoughtless and disposable manner.

Alas, it wasn’t.
