Re: chromeplating/jetcoating master cylinder (shamby)
shamby,, my son said that theres a internal circlip holding a rubber plunger in there that pushes the brake fluid,, so i guess its a matter of removing the clip and sliding the rubber plunger out,, but dont coat the inside of the cylinder or it will leak,,,its honed...im gonna give it a try,,,,carl

You may want to check the cost of buying a chrome master cylinder vs. having yours chromed. Check Ecklers, Summit, JEGS, etc. for pricing.

I bought one that was already plated. It was one of the easiest things I have done. Don't remember the exact cost, but was well below $200. See Pic!
Plating takes time; usually weeks and there can sometime be disappointments.
