Reproduction Master Cylinder 022
Has anyone used one of these new reproduction master cylinders that Zip and others are offering? Any comments would be great! Will they pass judging? They seem like a very reasonable price taking into effect the cost of having an original sleeved and rebuilt. That you for any info you can provide as I need to either rebuild my master cylinder or purchase one of these soon. Greg

No way will the Zip m/c pass judging.
The cap and casting have larger diameter threads (so the original cap cannot be used), and is a different color.
Plus cap is easily cross-threaded when reinstalling - cap is made from a softer plastic.

Thank You for the reply. My Corvette is a 1960 and I do have an original cast cap, but I appreciate your information. I will watch for other comments, but it looks like I will need to restore one of my original large 022 master cylinders to keep everything I can original on my restoration project. Greg
