1974 914 2.0  Group: Members Posts: 180 Joined: 6-June 16 From: Montana Member No.: 20,076 Region Association: Rocky Mountains  |
It feels like my brake master cylinder is going bad on my 1974 2.0. Since I've never rebuilt one or replaced one on the 914, I'm looking suggestions and parts sourcing. Any help out there?
Thank you. |

To much liability to sell rebuild kits to people who have never (and are not qualified to) rebuild a master cylinder.

QUOTE(The Cabinetmaker @ Mar 31 2018, 02:18 PM)  To much liability to sell rebuild kits to people who have never (and are not qualified to) rebuild a master cylinder. I've always been curious about this. Why would the liability for rebuilding an MC be different from rebuilding a caliper? It's a genuine question because I've never rebuilt an MC so don't know what is involved. Seems weird that DIY caliper rebuild kits are okay but not MC though. Plus, you can get rebuild kits for other ATE MCs, some for cars as old as our 914s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
