Bob,
What is failing? What type of fluid are you using? I would suspect an
issue with the seals not mixing with the fluid vice an improper overhaul.
I've heard nothing but praise for their mechanical services. However, the
seals will dereriate very fast with the wrong fluid no matter who rebuilds
the unit. You should be using the new silicon fluid or the old standby
castorl which I prefer. If the car is sitting in a humid location, it is
easy to get water vapor in the fluid which will also cause problems.

Subject: [TR] Apple Hydraulics question
Hi listers,
Yesterday I had a complete overnight failure of my master
cylinder. It made a real mess. This is the second rebuilt M/C from Apple
Hydraulics to fail on me in the last two years. The first time they were
really nice and replaced it even though it was out of warrantee by 3 months.
This most recent one lasted 13 months (only 7 of them driving).
Has anyone else had quality issues with their brake products? They are
nice people, but I almost backed into my daughter's car this time, and
sending the same part back the third time is getting old. Any feedback
appreciated
