Subject:Vangon brake cylinder quality differences?
From:Nathaniel Merrill

I have been shopping around for brake rebuild stuff and found a wide range in brake cylinder (that's rear drum brakes) cost.  Ron at bus depot said 8.95.  Europarts sold two : a German made for $24 something and a Brazilian made for $13.  What's up here?
 Will me and my syncro notice a quality problem?  Also I have 108K on a completely original brake system with pad left up front.  I was considering new rear drums as well.  Is this worth it or are the drums generally thick and long lasting? (Not wanting to tear it apart to measure the tolerances)
