Brakes were working fine 12 months ago when front end fully dismantled.  Yesterday I went to dismantle the cylinders to take to brake place for fitting of stainless steel sleeves.  I had to knock the alloy plungers out as they were very firm.  To my surprise the cylinders were already lined with stainless and standard size.

Is there any way to prevent the alloy growing and jamming the brakes due to limited use?  I have heard that somebody in Sydney may reproduce stainless plungers.  Anybody have any knowledge of this?
