Can a Master cylinder be repaired.. Yes
I read where the Bronze had to replace his Master Cylinder last week... Well.. I want to repair My Master Cylinder in My
68AutoBug.... Brakes are pretty important in an auto.... My Son had his Girlfriends Master Cylinder from her 1969 Baja Beetle repaired with a
stainless steel sleeve and new seals etc for under $100 at a clutch & brake place.... sounds great.... that was over a year ago and its
working fine....

Yes !
was it a single or Dual system for a 1969 beetle? and German... Where do You get them from Rhys ? I'll bet it's NOT from VVDS...
Well, actually it only cost $70.00 for the repair... 18 months ago... and there is nothing wrong with mine but I like the idea of a stainless steel
sleeve that never wears out and never corrodes or become pitted....  :o

I paid $168 for a german made tandem master for a 70 Beetle. It may have been cheaper to rebore and sleeve, but I cant have it off the road for that
long!

68 - Sounds like you got a good deal. Corrosion and pitting are actually pretty rare if the system is well maintained - it happens on old cars
because they've had a lot of dud owners. Your stainless steel sleeves should outlive you, if you care for your beetle, if you've had a good
job done, tell us who did it.
