Nobody makes brake repair kits anymore?

Question

I need to rebuild my master and wheel cylinders. Are we supposed to throw  out perfectly rebuildable items now? Anybody know a source? Chris 65 Ghia 12V 1800 60 Type 1 6V 36HP split-case trans :)

Havnt seen a "factory kit" for yonks but in Aust there are master cylinder  rebuilders who bore out the cylinder and set in a stainless steel or brass ( from memory) "sleeve" and fit new seals  to suit the sleeve.  Not just VW types, any brand. Might be worth asking a few brake repair specialists if there is some near you. With the  price of  new wheel cylinders, repair kits are probably superfluous.  Though the quality is so poor I generally order an extra so I  can fix the new one!. John If you find any please let me know too! It is tragic that everything is throw away now.
