Hi All,
I recently purchased a very original late 77 (1978 model I believe) Alfetta GTV that had previously been sitting for almost 10 years.
As part of getting it back on the road, I am going over everything to see what needs replacing.
I noticed the original Benditalia clutch master cylinder has a bit of a leak. I am trying to keep the car as original as possible - does anybody know of anywhere (preferable in Sydney) that could recondition it? I could always buy a generic aftermarket one (which I'm sure would be cheaper) but my preference is to keep it as original as possible.
Appreciate any tips and/or advice.

Thanks

Hi Carlo,
I know it is cheaper to just get a new one, but I like keeping things original so my preference remains to resleeve. Also, values of these cars are starting to creep upwards and keeping it original would probably add to that (not that I want to sell). Have not come across another Benditalia (or other oem brand) clutch master cylinder, so want to keep mine.
Have rang a few places regarding the resleeve and it is not as expensive as I thought.
Anyway, have a great Saturday and weekend all.
Cheers
Dave
