Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I might get hold of a polished brake master cylinder?  I obtained a clutch one (see left item in photo, the one on the right is a normal PBR type) as part of an 5-speed conversion kit but no-one involved in this sale can remember where the master cylinder came from.

I'd like a matching brake cylinder and have tried the usual suspects (local brake shop, rare Spares, etc) without any luck. Does anyone sell them or do I need to get one polished?  If the latter, is there any particular type that is best for polishing up?

cheers, Jonno

You will need to have one polished.  We do these from time to time for customers who are doing show cars.  We use Complete Metal Polishing in Sunshine.
They do a very good job.
Start with a standard aluminium master cylinder - not an older cast iron one.

Smithy in Canberra in a moment of weakness sat down and polished his own,it turned out just like the one in your photo. Try sending him a pm and he may explain how he did it and how long, definitely a DIY possibility.

Not everything has to be done by professional or by paying someone.(No offense meant,just a comment in general)
