I am running a stock brake system. The master cylinder is shot. I was originally going to rebuild it, but considering the prices of some aftermarket ones, I am not so sure.
Is there any downside to upgrading to the 19MM model? Has anybody bought one of these? http://www.paragon-products.com/product_p/...5.012.02apa.htm Thanks. |

Thanks for all the info, including the Pelican article.
I just ordered an ATE 17MM master cylinder for $232. The key for me was how the larger master cylinder affected braking on a stock system and how things should change together (larger master cylinder AND larger calipers). I probably would have been just fine with the generic 19MM but wanted to be sure that the backbone of my brake system was solid for a long time. |

Pulled my pedal cluster and discovered leaking brake m/c, then learned rebuild kits NLA, so, yeah, -WHERE- are you getting an ATE 17mm m/c for that price? |
