Default brake master cylinder....

,,,,after spending three days on line trying to get an either new or rebuilt one sent ,all for $180 and up, and being told it was backordered or unavailable for two to three months. I went to 'Kragens" and had one delivered'next day' for $82 dollars with a warrentee. I could understand some issues with speciality parts, but brake parts, unreal.

I just sent mine out to be rebuilt by Cardone's rebuilding service, for around $65, with 1 year warranty. I also couldn't find one for under 200 or so (1991).

I went to AutoZone and it was $125 exchange. I had an old core that I gave them, and it was junk.
I apologize to anyone who might have recieved it as a rebuilt
