I've used Extensive Wheel Services a few times and have always been impressed with the results. Best thing is if you go over the road and get a quote from Adelaide wheel and rim, EWS will beat it

I have always used Extensive Wheel Service and highly recommend them. I took a set of wheels to Adelaide Rims and the bloke there tried to sell me a second hand set they had in the workshop. Didn't like that at all, so I went across the road and was extremely happy with the service and the cost that they managed to get the repair done under :D

Extensive do a better job and are cheaper. I used to work at a tyre joint and used Adelaide Wheel and Rim for damaged wheels, until we got sick of getting wheels back still buckled and have dodge welds. Switched over to extensive and never had an issue.

Also went to both for a quote on getting a rim rolled and re annodised. Adelaide wanted more money and told me "the rim is chrome, we have to cut the center out and chrome dip, the re weld it." went to extensive, got the rolling done cheaper and he annodised the lip for free.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
