    Anyone have an opinion about wheel cylinders? I don't want to buy the cheap crap that I've found at AutoZone. Their cyls are made in China, and the manufacturing tolerances are crap. Example: Using a one man bleeder is very difficult because the threads for the bleeder are too loose. At any point where you loosen the bleeder, there is too much play in the threads. You'll suck air past the threads while trying to bleed it. I am thinking that AC Delcos are still made in the US, and Rockauto has them for a reasonable price.

    Would NAPA be a good idea?
     
  2. I purchased Bendix brand wheel cylinders to put on my Wildcat at AutoZone. They were like $20 more than the other brands, but I figure if Bendix made the OEM brakes...

    Never had to buy wheel cylinders because they're pretty much new on my GS but thats the way I went with my master cylinder - paid a little more for the bendix branded one.
