Looking for a good used master cylinder on ebay and I come across this. Never mind the fact that the thing's so rusted it's almost unrecognizable, but then he suggests that it's rebuildable, the implication being that rebuild kits are actually available. Taking a long shot that the kits were actually available, I asked if he had the kits or knew of a source. Crickets.
He has 20 available and I wonder how many he'll sell to unsuspecting buyers before they find out they're $45 paperweights. |
