master cylinder,

[kevgs]

hi, has any one tried the rear master cylinders that you can get on amazon / Eblag  for about 20 pound that come as a complete unit hose / reservoir they look good but for the price are they any good,

Seriously - what do you think? £20 won't usually buy a good seal kit ! ! !

Unless you specifically require 50mm spacing between the mounting bolts, you can buy a brand new rear Brembo rear master cylinder for 55 quid, which is re-buildable. Secondhand ones are obviously cheaper. Personally, I wouldn't bother with a cheap part especially on the brakes. The real deal is always the way forward and often cost-effective to achieve.

I normally buy something from used from Eblag (Nissin/Brembo/Tokico) and then get a rebuild kit, if needed. At least you know you can always get the parts.

That'll work ok if you throw it into the spokes - not very subtle breaking though!
