Have you had a good look on ebay? I put a kit in one of my JA's years ago. That worked well, but you need to hone the bore or it will leak.
The kit is for the slave (that's the part with the plastic reservoir on it?)

The big round black main master cylinder I have!

Give me a call if you like

I work for Repco here in NZ on a sunday. Worked for them full time for a couple of years before going to Uni. The pay is pretty damn average, but as a part timer the responsibility requirement is low, and the access to parts / cheap prices / ability to do sweet deals, is excellent.

Same story at any aftermarket supplier, it's all about the person you get behind the counter on the day, and how will they are to actually look for you. Everyone sells the same shit.

I worked for Repco for quite a few years & Repco NZ must be run differently.

Over here, they are known as a retail only company & you aren't alowed to do discounts unless you are the store manager.

Piece of cake, just installed new master cylinder and slave cylinder cost about 150 bucks for both new units. Clutch works amazingly well !!!!!

Must be pretty different over there then. There are some rules you have to follow here to do sweet deals, Repco still has to make a decent profit, but with the markup in some items (particularly clutch masters and slaves...) there is alot of room for movement. I think the branches over here realise the culture in which they operate, and cater to it reasonably well.

That being said, some of the branches here are complete shit, none of the staff know how to pick up a catalog, and think that if it isnt listed in the computer, we don't do it and can't get it... Idiots.

Tell me about it, still throw a couple of grand at them each month through Appco but only go to Repco if I need floor mats or seat covers.

The incompetence of the Repco employees is shocking, but then what would I know compared to a young kid whos got 3 months experience. Now that we can use rego numbers to idenify cars I can't think of an easier job, when I started imports were mostly unknown (and dealerships wanted nothing to do with them) they had piles of books and catalogs in Japanese but mostly still found/ordered the correct parts. Now you give them a rego plate and they have all the details and still fuck it up.
