Bengt, the filling station http://www.fillingstation.com/ has brake rebuild kits but I don't know if you need to bore the cylinder out. Maybe if you call or write them. (if you want, email me, I'll write the question in English for you.) Kanter's has rebuilt master cyliders for $150 US/ w exchange. http://www.kanter.com/ There are probably other suppliers and I'm sure someone will know.

There are a number of companies in the USA that do this. Maybe in Sweden as well? I am not advocating any particular company. But here are links to some companies that re-sleeve brake cylinders: Karp\'s Brake Service Sierra Specialty Automotive Apple Hydraulics Brake and Equipment Warehouse White Post Restorations "The cost of living hasn't affected it's popularity." - Mark Twain
