The last time I was in the market for a MC for the TR6, I called Ted
Schumacher (NFI). At the time, he told me that there were 3 available:
cheap Asian knockoff - not recommended - cheapest, under $100 at the time
TRW brand, produced in Asia but "to TRW standards" - mid price, about $150
or so at the time
genuine Lucas/Girling NOS - about $300 at the time
On Ted's recommendation, I bought the TRW. It is now 5+ years later, and
with silicone brake fluid since Day 1, no leaks (knock on wood dash) or any
other issues.

Just got a TR6. The brake MC was leaking. I bought a rebuild kit and rebuil=

So now I am in the market for a new master cylinder. I have a friend with a=
