Hey guys

It has come time to replace the master and slave clutch cylinders on my Z, as one (or both possibly) are leaking. Do you guys have a preference or brands to avoid? I was going to get PBR as that is what my brake master is and I haven't had any issues with it.

Thanks

I replaced mine this summer with parts sourced from MSA. No fitment issues and the parts work. What more could you ask for?

Double that

I purchased Beck/Arnley brand from Rock Auto. I've purchased several other parts of the Beck Arnley brand, and I've been pleased. Fit and quality appeared to be top notch. Price and shipping were great.

I buy a lot of stuff from MSA too, but I've been sourcing the more common maintenance items from Rock Auto.

We bought a new master at the local auto parts store. Don't remember now if there were options. We also bought a rebuild kit for the slave and I did the rebuild myself. We bought a new steel braided line from MSA. The car had sat for ten years before we bought it and had no seals left. We have not had a problem with it. That was two years ago.

If the car (73 240z) was going to be a daily driver, I my have skipped the clutch line, but we were setting up a track car and spent the few extra dollars.

We did the same to the brakes as well. Except for the rear wheel cylinders. I couldn't find rebuild kits and new cylinders are way to expensive. I peeled back the dust covers and they looked good so I left them alone. Now we realize that we don't have any rear brakes. They bleed Ok. They hold the wheels enough to loosen/tighten the lugs. But, out on the track, only the fronts are working. We have worn out three sets of front pads now and the rear shoes haven't bedded in yet.

No, I'm not asking for advice. (I think the proportioning valve is at fault.) I'm just using this as an example of why to not scrimp.
