Hey Court, was there ever a solution to the question of brake rebuiding kits for Gamblers?

I replaced mine once years ago, now it's leaking a little.

I don't use it much, but I want it to work.

Rich,

I pinged those Gambler folks a couple weeks back about a rebuild kit. The o-rings for the pistons are the same as used on some current Wilwood units.

They also have pads still on hand to fit. Something like $25 for them.


As for the master cyl. TAW currently says they have the rebuild kit (#110.2739.20)for $12

Reminds me I got to order the rebuild kit for the master cyl this week myself.

Court, I think I do have the letter, I don't think I did the recall, though.

Thanks Bryan, I'll have to get in touch with them.

I've got the letter here on the old Jefferson Street letterhead. I made the change but never sent the old one back . . .it's still here in the envelope with the letter.

Remember how simple life was? Little snag. . Erik sent the part to all 25 owners. . . we changed them out . . no one pouted, sued of claimed they'd been blinded.

Much remains unchanged. . . . it's an amazing company.

You must learn more about it.

Josh,

http://www.gamblersprintcars.com/. They do not have anything listed on the site so you need to email them. Never got an actual part number for them, just a reply stating they had pads to fit.

So Bry, they didn't give you a number for the Wilwood seals?

Sure didn't. Did not ponder it at all either. I have access to several race teams(sprint car types).

I had mine apart to do a real thorough degunking and flush last month. My bad for not making notes on the pistons and bores.

Well, if I rode it more, it probably wouldn't have sprung a leak anyway.

My RS sprung leaks from top to bottom. It sat the better part of 4 yrs. Right now I am down to the rear brake being an issue. That is gonna take a master cyl rebuild.

Have I mentioned how much of a PITA it is to bleed the gambler caliper?
