Having some experience with the auto parts rebuilding industry (Borg
Warner Corp, Prior Products) I can say that more than likley there are
three world sources for any given rubber seal, parts kit or such.
If you look at the markings on an OEM VW master cylinder seal and an
aftermarket you'll probably find that both rubber parts came from the
same supplier of rubber parts in bulk.
I wouldn't hersitate to buy any product from Bus Depot, Bus Boys, Impex
and Lord Help us ....... MoFoCo has always supplied me with quality
cylinders and rebuild parts at very good prices.
