I personally haven't had any problems with Cardones' products. I used to work
at a local speed shop/ parts store that deals thier products and rarely had any
problems/ returns with them. I have used thier calipers and so far 6 years
later they are holding up. But you know how the reman business is or for that
matter the parts business as a whole sometimes you just get a bad part. I
had a Moog tie rod wear out in less than 2 months time, I took it back, had it
replaced and I was reimbursed through Federal Mogul for my alingment.

Need some suggestions on what to do for a new master cylinder - 72 elky
with discs up front.
I have a never used - rebuilt master cylinder thats been sitting on a
shelf for 10 years at least. I opened it to check the bore and the bottom of
the bore is pitted. I tried honing and its better, but I can still feel the
pitting with my finger. Anyone have an idea on how much I can hone it?
Or does anyone have a recommendation on who can sleeve it?
OR - NAPA has a NEW (not rebuilt) master cylinder for about $33.00
. PROBABLY Chinese manufactured and while it resembles an original, it is
obvious that its not an original.
OR - NAPA also has a Cardone rebuilt master cylinder for about $27.00
I've heard differing opinions on the quality of Cardone
rebuilds.
If the cost isn't too great I'm leaning toward having a sleeve put in the
new rebuilt one I have. Any other thoughts? Thanx
