Gents, I am looking for well justified opinions and long term experience with sleeved master and/or wheel cylinders ---IS BRASS OR STAINLESS best and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each. I diligently searched and did not find this discussed. I am finally getting to work on My 1948 P-15 and it just needs brakes and wheel/axle seals and it should be ready to go. My wheel cylinders look good but the master cylinder has a large rough spot in it from 4 to 8 O'clock. It doesn't look like pitting it looks like an original faulty casting. The car only has 10,800 miles on it. It looks like there isn't much cost difference between the options and I just want the brakes to be reliable and trouble free. I am replacing all hoses and rebuilding all cylinders and think I will switch to DOT 5 fluid. I drove a '35 Plymouth as my only car for 5 years so am well familiar with the brake system and my experience is they can be reliable with sufficient stopping power if everything is up to snuff. Many thanks and all the best,
