So the clutch master cylinder in my wifes 66' LWB needs either a rebuild or replacement all together. As many of you know who have searched for these parts, they are unobtanium. The master kit was discontinued by Toyota and aftermarket suppliers in the recent years and new masters just are not available, every outlet including myself recommends upgrading to the newer cylinder & slave which requires a new hardline and hose. Easy upgrade, but it won't keep the stock "tin cup" master cylinder which I sorta like.
So here is the conundrum, I have one NOS rebuild kit on the shelf, its likely 20 years old judging on the box (or TEQ logo'd box). My cylinder is very clean, no pitting and I think it would rebuild just fine. But, do I use up one of the last remaining kits in the country?
