Regarding the Cylinders. Jim and I had ours done at White Post in Virginia,
I think. They were wonderful. 2 day turnaround. I highly recommend them.

Subject: Re: [amphicar-lovers] Poorly Rebuilt Wheel Cylinders
Tanks Mark and Mike:
I sold a car and promised the new owner I'd go through the brakes with new
lines etc. I thought I'd use these new cylinders then found the metal brake
line in the back would not tighten down. Like Mark said it just kept coming
loose at the end. The bolt holds were enlarged too. The cylinders were
decent used too when I sent them up.
The front one seem a bit better but still the metal lines connecting the two
and the top one with the rubber hose seem a bit less tight then they should
be. I could probably use them but with brakes I won't take the chance. Had
to tap into my reserves set of new ones I've been saving. Oh well, better
that than taking a chance.
I'll be wanting my money back for sure so wish me luck.
The process is sand blast them clean, sleeve and rebuild. I don't think
they were acid dipped. I was impressed with the shop as they called me
wanting a new piston because they found one they didn' t trust. I'm hoping
mine just fell into the hands of a worker who didn't care and everyone elses
are ok.
Mike
