Replaced most of the rear brake lines with SS last year. Car spends most of its time in a garage, and never goes to the ocean. Should I have coated the ends, that's a good bit of money to be that rusty.

He's a real URO parts man, and hopefully he'll explain to us why half their master cylinders seem to leak, not fit or not work.

He's a real URO parts man, and hopefully he'll explain to us why half their master cylinders seem to leak, not fit or not work. Though this rusty brake fitting thread has absolutely nothing to do with URO Parts, we’re happy to answer questions from the community. Our 914 brake master cylinder has an actual defect rate of 0.87% for the roughly 1,500 units sold since 2011. Naturally no manufacturing process can achieve a 0% defect rate, which is why we stand behind our products with a two-year warranty. If anyone has a defective master cylinder or other item, please contact us for a warranty replacement so we can make it right. Those are the facts, despite what Mikey914 (who is developing a competing product) has to say. |

If anyone has a defective master cylinder or other item, please contact us for a warranty replacement so we can make it right. I've manufactured aftermarket parts overseas and a one percent return rate is not good. For some parts it's acceptable, but not for critical items like internal engine parts and especially not for brake parts. For comparison six sigma means three defects per MILLION. And what's odd is that in my private car I apparently had two of your roughly 15 warranty failures all by myself, thankfully leaks on first use. That may be what flavors my view of your products, but that should also be understandable. As an aside I also used one of your Volvo S80 fuel door hinges that wouldn't pop into the holes no matter what I did, so I ended up breaking it trying to get it to fit. I then used the OEM hinge and it popped right in no problem, though I guess that's not really applicable here. |
