I don't consider it that great a loss. There are a lot of jurisdictions that do not allow rebuilt brake parts anymore, and quite frankly the costs have come down so much that there is little reason to rebuild.

I think Derk Derin was telling me the other day that NAPA wanted $200 for a Ford master cylinder. Thanks to the internet a new Ford master cylinder is $63 plus postage, so easily half that once postage is factored in.

Then again, 5 years ago I was getting that same master cylinder for $35.

Thanks to Rob Love who told me the part numbers to order for the brake parts I need for my 3 Ton Ford CMP ambulance (2 years ago) I finally put the order in at Rockauto.com after checking with NAPA’s prices that were worth more than the CMP.
Here’s what the parts list for. When you check out it will calculate shipping and any other costs for you when it’s in your cart.
Don’t forget to google a Rockauto discount code to add to your checkout and you get an additional 5 percent off the total price!
Now I just have to find the time and ambition to start the restoration!
Regards,Derk

Default Suppliers of hydraulic brake parts.

Over many years I have sourced my brake parts from Central West Brake and Clutch in Orange N. S. W, I only quote the PBR part #and they supply.

They also make up brake hoses , made me a GPA handbrake cable and machined my Carrier drums.

No connection.
