I've actually been finding recently that Rockauto and some of the other places on-line also do NOT list the appropriate Civic or BMW master cylinders as being in stock either. That surprised me.
With all this, getting your Opel master cylinder rebuilt this way is not a bad deal at all and it keeps your car stock if you want it that way.

I have more to rebuild I just needed two right now, I'm sending them 2 rebuildable cores and asked if they would make me up a kit for the rest they (person I spoke with) didn't sound too keen on that idea but he had no idea since it is jobbed out. From what I have found, it is a good price to have it rebuilt for me, of course shipping will add to the figure.
What size was your kit from autozone? the piston size? Did it work and feel good? That is good information and price since no shipping would be involved. Thanks The explanation they gave me on the size (since opel GT are power disc as they say it only fits) is that they use different venders and sometimes do to no working knowledge they just have various kits. It did not sound like a reasonable explanation but I am sending the MC's in this weekend for rebuild. As far as being stock items, it appears there are too few rebuildable cores out there to have enough stockpiled for sale.
Thanks
