My Master was working fine, but I added about 40 horsepower and removed a l=
ot of weight, so I thought all new brakes would be a good idea.

My experience, along with friends who wrench on cars, suggests these parts =
coming from China have a tendency to fail. This is not an attack on China, =
they surely build to the specs and price point they are given. While I cele=
brate and appreciate the vendors making these parts available for us, it's =
just a fact that thermostats and other parts that used to be fine right out=
 of the box nearly 100% of the time, now fail in unacceptable numbers.

That's why I chose to rebuild my original MC instead of buying new from one=
 of the vendors, and rebuild it with NOS factory parts. I would prefer fres=
her rubber parts, but these are the choices we face in today's hobby. For a=
 while now, I have been buying vintage NOS parts on eBay as mechanics tell =
me that new parts, Moog for example they say, are not the parts Moog made 1=
5 or 20 years ago.

"In watching automobile restoration shows, Im amazed at the lengths and exp=
ense that restorers have to go to get replacement parts. "

I so hate watching a 30 minute commercial for the parts used.

Regarding MC rebuild, some good advice once received was (1) rebuild clutch=
 parts, (2) buy new brake parts. The difference seems obvious.

Also, fix the brakes first. You can walk home from all else.
