Creig,

                Call Lazar at Apple Hydraulics. Have not had an issue with
their rebuilt units at all.

Subject: [TR] TR6 brake master cylinder

 

Just got a TR6. The brake MC was leaking. I bought a rebuild kit and rebuilt
it today. Put it back in the car and it leaked worse than before. The MC is
relatively new, so I have come to the conclusion it is an after market unit
and my rebuild kit was for an original MC.

So now I am in the market for a new master cylinder. I have a friend with a
TR6 after market MC that is about a year old and it is leaking too. I think
maybe there are some bad after market master cylinders out there. 

Does anybody have any advice on how to find a good one?
