Rebuild kits are available, as are rebuilt MC's.

What year is your RX3? There are at least 2 different sizes listed for them. Most references give me a 13/16 bore. My 73 RX3 has a 7/8 bore.

Do you have any plans for brake upgrades? If so now is a good time to think about incresing the MC capacity. I'm changing over to a Mazda 929 MC with 1 inch bore. I've also found a replacement vacuum booster to complete the package.

Speaking of brakes, I picked a set of 82 strut housing and spindle for $25 at a local junkyard. Rene (61620B) extended the top portion of the FB housing to match the RX-3 using a blown KYB. He did a very good job.

I tried to install a new set of KONIs, it wont slide in. It turned out that the KONIs are slightly thicker than KYB.
