You have 2 options,buy a new master cylinder or send yours to be resleeved and kitted by a brake specialist.Nothing is expensive until you really need to stop and you have bad brakes.

Remember 68-69 are 4 wheel drums with no booster later ones are disc brake fronts and drum rears with a power booster. As for cost get it stainless sleeved and a kit put thru and it will outlast you. Don't cut corners with brakes cemeteries full of people who cut corners.

I have found new kits but the plastic reservoir needs replacing,the only ones i can find on the net are for later bays,so i might have to look for a used one??? the kombi will only be club rego so it wont get driven much but i still want good brakes👍cheers shane.
