Hi All
I have had my MB nearly a year with no probs and I drive to to work every day approx 40km all up.. she has been a little ripper, then we started leaking some fluid under the steering wheel and the back wheel started locking up!!! just been told the wheel brake cyl are leaking and the mast brake cyl is leaking all up about $730 to fix!! :cry: ..using non Suzuki parts.. :roll: .. anyone got a any second hand ones or know of a good cheaper brand one could use??
any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Uttie

I had two MB mastercylinders rebuilt and stainless steel sleeved in January 2010 by BHSS-TBS for $330 including delivery back to me in Bris.
These unit are excellent. You can reach them on 07 3620 6555. I strongly urge you to ask for Floyd as when I said Mighty Boy he said ss40t.
I have had one of these stainless sleeved master cylinders in one of my MB's for many years

make sure you take the old rear cylinder in as there are 2 sorts they are not interchangeable.
they cost about $32 each.
