1955 Packard Treadle-vac

Well I visited Ross Miller at speedwell garage today to have some brake issues fixed on my car. The car had the treadle vac rebuilt by white post less than 1&1/2 years ago and suckered me in with a "lifetime warranty". Well heres what Ross CORRECTED:

1)The bore of the cylinder casting had been resleeved but the bypass port had not been redrilled.

2) Outer piston seal was obviously reused and also somewhat damaged.

3) The return stop washer and cushion on the top of the power piston was missing.

Needless to say White Post will NEVER be getting any business again from me-and I should of went to Ross in the first place.
