Brake failures anyone?
 

I have started to hear of several cases of hearing about brake failures and in those cases they had China made master cylinders or wheel cylinders on the cars. This is of grave concern to me. Its one thing to have junk repro body parts on the car but brakes hydraulic brake parts are something that should NEVER be outsourced.

I'm now steering towards having my originals re-sleeved and go from there. Anyone still make USA made master and wheel cylinders out there?

Most new master cylinders will be China or India made,check out rebuilds and look at the bottom for a code since Ford used a lot of Bendix you have a decent chance of getting one the counter guy might have to haul out a few but you should get lucky.
