Good evening all,
Im currently running new brake lines for a non-abs conversion, and Ive gotten to the point where I need to reinstall both brake and clutch master cylinders. Do I need to replace the brake master cylinder with a non-abs version? I got to thinking, before reinstalling them and finding a problem, should I go ahead and rebuild both? Both are original to the car with 80k ish miles on them, but theyve sat for a solid 20 years.
Alternatively, I can reinstall, fill with fluid, and test for leaks. If a leak develops later, they seem easy enough to get to.
The approach Ive taken with moving mechanical things has been to rebuild them without thinking since I have the car apart.
