I have a tin clutch MC and I got quoted $250 to re-sleve and build an old MC. Also got a price on just a rebuild kit and that was $45. New ones on ebay are 90 odd bucks or $155 for the tin type. Why on earth would I re-sleve it when the new one is $100 cheaper. Dose anyone here know if they can be re-sleved cheaper or if the kits can be brought for less than $45. |

Kenno, i`m not gunna torque money, but a resleaved "Tin" tanked cyl is more thanb the others cause they need to de-solder the tank,,, sleave it & then re-solder the tank,,, time consuming the other plastic res types are cheaper to sleave |

The guy who re-sleeved mine quoted about $80 just to do the re-sleeving. I took the reservoir off and re-soldered it myself. I did the re-assembly and the kit was a lot less than $45 from Somerford. Tim |

A resleeved (with SS or brass) original MC won't get corrosion inside like the standard ones can- whether new or old! Also they still look period correct. For those that care.
