Just got a TR6. The brake MC was leaking. I bought a rebuild kit and rebuilt it today. Put it back in the car and it leaked worse than before. The MC is relatively new, so I have come to the conclusion it is an after market unit and my rebuild kit was for an
original MC.<br>

So now I am in the market for a new master cylinder. I have a friend with a TR6 after market MC that is about a year old and it is leaking too. I think maybe there are some bad after market master cylinders out there.

Does anybody have any advice on how to find a good one?<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The last time I was in the market for a MC for the TR6, I called Ted Schumacher (NFI).
