Hi guys

I think my brake master cylinder might be due for a rebuild.
Does anyone know anywhere trustworthy and reliable in SA that would be able to do it? I'm based in the South but I don't mind travelling for good service (within reason).

Thanks

David D

The best brake place I know of is (sadly for us southerners) Power Brakes at Holden Hill. They know everything about everything to do with brakes and have most replacement parts in stock already. I got 2x L series front calipers rebuilt there and they were done the next day. Also have bought braided lines from them in the past.

There must be somewhere closer south, but I just went there for other reasons and it was kinda close to where I work. Other option could be a new master clylinder, I got a genuine NOS one on ebay for $200.

I'll second power brakes. I've used them plenty. All the guys (and gals) there are very helpful and got me out of a few nasty ones...although they hate (hate might be a bit strong, dislike) it when I bring forklift stuff into them :)

Another possibility in the CBD is SA Brake and Clutch, not sure if Joe and the boys would rebuild or only supply new. Can't hurt to call them.

Thanks for the info guys. Might have to have a trip out one day to Holden Hill. If not, I'll see if I can find anywhere closer and report back.
