Re: crap brake parts

[Jimmy Peavy <peaver63@xxxxxxxxx>]

All the Chinese parts are crap.I had a brand new wheel cylinder that
leaked, and a brake hose that the threads just pulled off the end of
the hose. All Chinese.
In many cases one has no choice, because that's all that's available.
Well for a reasonable price. I did find a NOS wheel cylinder that was $160.
