Rebuilt Brake Master Cylinder

My brake master cylinder was leaking fluid back into the pedal box and was really really spongy on the few drives it went on. So since after spending close to 2 hours calling dozens of automotive stores I finally contacted the manufacturer who makes the rebuild kit for the cylinder, and they had of course discontinued it. So what was going to be a $20 part became a $225 rebuild to White Post Restorations in Virginia (http://www.whitepost.com/). I will say though that while it's expensive you get what you pay for it. The cylinder came right out of the box powder-coated, with the fitting re-tapped, all new seals and dust cover. It literally bolted on, we bled it and my brakes were rock hard. Plus any cylinder they rebuild comes with a lifetime warranty and you have any problem they'll rebuild it again for free.
