I was looking into getting a chrome master cylinder like that one and I was wondering if you have run into any problems with bleeding or anything that has cause you trouble with the brakes?

I thought it would look really cool but I wasn't sure if it would be the same quality of a part as the regular one.

Don't buy the ones on ebay. I just had to remove the one in the pics because it was either the incorrect one for Vettes or it was just defective. If you have to have one you might want to try Mid America.
I would also suggest that you only do this if your current one is in need of replacement because it's not worth the hassle of bleeding brakes just to have a chrome master cylinder. The Motive pressure bleeder does make the job alot easier. HTH

looking good....and for the guy who is getting crap for spending money on the vette....just remember my old mentor use to say...anything snuck into the garage doesn't count....(assuming of course you are still feeding the kids first...etc)

I was thinking of getting the chrome maser cylinder because mine just went bad but I had to do the transmission at the same time so I had to go cheap! Thanks for the heads up though!
