1" master cylinder rebuild kit alternative
So I'm thinking of taking a different approach to this. There are several 1" repair kits with the seals only for $10-$15.
I found 20-25 kits that are promising. Here's a couple of examples:
So why not make pistons for the seals instead of looking for seals with the right dimensions? The 1" OD is what matters. For the price of these I could buy several kits that appear to be close to what I need and perhaps even some seals will fit directly on the old pistons.
Scan the old pistons to CAD and make necessary changes to the OD and width of the seal groves. The CNC machine will make a piston for the new seals. I could even use only one seal size to keep it simple.
To manufacture a piston from a aluminum rod in a CNC machine is pretty simple, much easier than making or finding a NBR seal of a specific dimension.
My daughters husband operates a CNC machine in a small metal company. They make relatively small sets of parts to the big industry. It could be possible to have it done there. He's also a Mopar man and has a 1969 Dodge Monaco.
