The stock 17mm master cylinders are NLA. 19mm MCs are running about $235. Automotion has a 23mm MC that's only $110. It says it's for 914s with upgraded calipers, but I'm wondering about using it with stock brakes. Anyone have any experience with these? There is no clue about whether it is ATE so I suspect not and so I also wonder about longevity.

What properties does a 23mm master cylinder have that makes it an "upgrade"? Increased pedal pressure requirements? Reduced ability to modulate the brake system with differences in your input? Cheaper? As for the sub-hundred dollar 19mm master cylinder, they're made in China, and are likely no better made than the fuel pumps AA sells. The difference here is a bad fuel pump means your car won't go. A bad master cylinder means your car won't STOP! You do the math.
