[Rovernet] Rebuilding P3 master cylinder

[Tom Rymes]

When it comes to hydraulics, it's hard to beat sending them off to White Post in Virginia for them to resleeve and rebuild. It's not that expensive, especially considering that it's better than new.

As a result, a rebuild should include both sleeving the bore and replacing the piston or sleeving the OD of the piston.   Because of the odd construction of the cylinder, I would think it might be difficult to find a rebuilder in the US or Canada.  I had my LHD P3 master cylinder rebuilt in the UK -- let me know if you don't find resources in North America for a rebuild.
