The Girling factory replacement, which by the way, has an extremely low failure rate is available from your favorite DeLorean parts supplier for around $260. You say the Duralast replacement from Pep Boys is $275 and the identical unit from AutoZone is $71. Could this be a deal that is too good to be true ? Not knowing the reputation of these after market parts is OK if you are a short term owner. If you intend on keeping your DeLorean for the long run and are concerned about supporting the DeLorean parts network why gamble. Our 260 K mile D still has the factory original Girling master cylinder in place.
