Subject:Re: Clutch Master Cylinder- to rebuild or buy new?

About 8 years ago I bought "used, known good" clutch master cylinder for my
'84 Westy. It did work --- for about a year --- then failed 3,000 km from
home. I don't skimp on parts anymore. If you're committed, as many of us
are, to keeping your van for the long-term then buy parts that are going to
last.

Cheers,
Doug
