The local sleeving place recommends bronze v stainless. Is he full of crap? Is one better than the other for resistance to pitting?

I've only heard of stainless steel sleeving and my brake man, the father-in-law, is somewhere in the outback at the moment.Quote:

A quick search on the net throws up lots of hits for lining with brass/bronze.

The brass or bronze sleeve may need to be replaced. (Or honed if possible?).
And I know which is cheaper;).

Hi AULRO, Well had the chance to change the clutch master cylinder, bit of a pain in the bum:o for me it took 3 hrs to complete, I also found it to be quicker to take the whole brake pedel box out, only 6 bolts:D had to ajust the nuts on the master cylinder rod bit as it was shorter than the OE. there was too much slack in the pedel, all is good now and thanks for all the advice
Cheers
