David,

I was digging some info that Ron - 2869ral - has posted a couple of times:

1965-66 Corvette master cylinder rebuild kit for manual brakes is a perfect rebuild kit, the piston is even correct.

I know you're anxious to get your Patrols going. If the master cylinder is badly pitted, the best alternative will be to change to the Wilwood dual circuit MC that has been discussed other times.

I think you are referring to the kits currently on eBay? The A kit is usually inclusive of more complete parts, like springs, etc. But not in this case, both of these kits listed are B kits even though one is listed as an A kit. I've had them on my watch list for a while. Rather pricey but if someone was in absolute need for one, there it is.

Good news both Patrols are running great! I was just looking for inventory. The Brake MC seal kits are hard to find and I was just looking for inventory. Ron was kind enough to send me a Brake MC kit which was not able to be installed around here due to lack of skills, then I sent my MC to him and tried the Chevy parts. It didn't work then either. I ended up sending it up to the NE to a vintage car restoration place and they finally smoothed it out.

The point being, it is not easy finding a seal kit for my 63-65 Patrol Brake MC. If A or B work I want to buy one as my last rebuild was about $500 with mechanics labor to install and re-install it three times.

Your expertise is appreciated as always.

Ohhh don't think my mechanics haven't already charged me to rebuild my flux capacitor. In fact, they said I was lucky to only have two that needed rebuilding. That is when we went to mechanic #4, Eddy the Eagle.
