Stop in for a cup of coffee

So, the other day I got the master cylinder for the Cuda back from the brake place in Minnesota. They put a stainless steel sleeve in it. I just took it out of the box and was looking at it to be sure everything was correct. Looked okay. There are several sets of holes that needed to be drilled into the bore of the new stainless sleeve. I noticed that they were all present except for the one at the front of the master cylinder that feeds the rear brakes. I used my set of torch tip cleaners to check it. All holes exist and are correct except for that one. Not drilled at all apparently. Now I got to send it back. Good news is they only charged me 140 bucks to stainless sleeve it when the place in New York wanted 275.

Just very glad and very lucky that I checked it. Imagine assuming it was all okay and assemble it and put it on the car and got no rear brakes and can't figure out why. Lol

i am very curious to see what caused all this ****.. if it was the vb or not
 
Not bad busy, it's a long drive back to the Midwest.
@Frodee threw his in the back of his daily driver and spent the weekend with me, and I showed him how to redo his when I rebuilt it.
Was a fun time
