Just a thought. I worked in an Auto Parts store, from 1985-1998. We had good relations with parts suppliers back then. May not be the same now (many of the big name chains get additional discounts on a particular product line by giving up manufacturer representation...). We send in many kinds of parts for "Reman". Brake boosters, master cylinders, calipers. Most were done through A-1 Cardone. I'm not sure what connections you have through parts stores...you could ask around.
The problem these days is lines of communications to re-man folks may not be there, at least easily. It's all about price. Sadly many parts counter folks have such limited experience it's tough to communicate with them...
