Alan,

My BJ8 had aluminum masters, which I believe(d) were the original (I bought
the car with 64K miles). When I ordered replacements, I got cast iron for both
(I think the clutch master is the same as the brake master on earlier cars,
maybe w/o servo).
Does anybody know if Al masters were supplied on some cars, or should
I assume mine were replaced at some point? At first I was dismayed that
I got iron replacements, but have been happy with the replacements (they
are Lucas, FWIW).
