My Master was working fine, but I added about 40 horsepower and removed a lot of weight, so I thought all new brakes would be a good idea.</div>

My experience, along with friends who wrench on cars, suggests these parts coming from China have a tendency to fail. This is not an attack on China, they surely build to the specs and price point they are given. While I celebrate and appreciate the vendors
making these parts available for us, it's just a fact that thermostats and other parts that used to be fine right out of the box nearly 100% of the time, now fail in unacceptable numbers.</div>

That's why I chose to rebuild my original MC instead of buying new from one of the vendors, and rebuild it with NOS factory parts. I would prefer fresher rubber parts, but these are the choices we face in today's hobby. For a while now, I have been buying vintage
NOS parts on eBay as mechanics tell me that new parts, Moog for example they say, are not the parts Moog made 15 or 20 years ago.
