I have a 1975 914 2.0 that I converted to carbs. The brake master cylinder dumps about 1-2 tablespoons of fluid when the brake pedal is pressed. I obviously need a new MC. I want to upgrade to the 19 mm MC and there are two options. I could spend $260+ and buy the porche OEM equivalent by ATE or spend $60 - $90 on a cheaper variant from URO. I don't know if I want to skimp out on the braking system because it could save my life and all.
What are your recommendations? Has anyone been using the URO equivalent? Thanks, -Levi- |
