Rebuild Original MC or buy new?
OK guys, now that I have pulled my brake MC out (about 2 weeks ago now), and I know it needs a rebuild and honed at the very least, which direction should I go? I know I can purchase a reproduction brake master cylinder for about $40 online, or I can rebuild my original one by purchasing a honing kit for about 17, and a seal kit for around 18+shipping. Figuring they will both come out to the same price, should I rebuild the original MC (single reservoir), keeping in mind I am building this truck to drive for fun and be an actual truck, no number matching. OR, should I just go ahead and get a new one, which I am sure will be a made in China piece, but will at least be new and have a warranty?
As much as I would LOVE to put in a dual MC setup, that $$ just isn't in the budget right now between the $100 bracket, and another $50-100 or so for a used MC/booster setup. What would you do?
