How is the quality of Macs brake cylenders

Kurt in NJ · 06-12-2020, 03:46 PM

I consider all modern production wheel cylinders suspect, and take apart for inspection of drilled passages, many times the bleeder hole is drilled 1/2 way down causing trapped air, and fluid passages under cup lips
I don't know about macs quality, never bought from them, but every part I was supplied by owners to fix their car didn't work out and was replaced soon after if it worked to begin with, perhaps they have changed after being bought out

I'd suggest you contact Mike Driskell. I have purchased some cylinders from him and they have been perfect.

My guess would be the same as the other chinese import parts that the cheaper venders sell.

PM or email most likely won't work, best bet is to call.
