Re: [DML] Questions on NOS Master Brake cyl

[James Espey <james@xxxx>]

ALL the brake (and clutch) master cylinders sold by the major parts 
suppliers are aftermarket. There are no significant quantities of the 
originals left.

Original clutch SLAVE cylinders are still available, and are what is 
regularly sold by all the major vendors. We install them regularly 
with no problems. Worries about seals and pitted bores and are 
unfounded.
