hi sages- have done numerous master cylinder changeouts in varied brands of tanks. among aftermarket producers, i have had good experience only with wagner, bendix and usually raybestos but in american cars. the rest were crappers. usually went stinko and leaked within 2 years. problem is like that quiz show from the 50s some of you may remember(the price is ridiculous with bill cullen). nobody will get that one. anyway what brand would you recommend for the volvo 240 which im sure ill have to replace someday. about to replace it in my mercury marquis. choice is new original from fomoco for 140 or aftermarket rebuilt for 40. probably will do the fomoco despite the sticker shock since i dont want todo it again for 15 years. is your reco against the above aftermarketers for the volvo? problem of course is disconnecting the screw in 2 fittings for the fluid lines at the cylinder. often results in clusterf!@#$ broken line or seized nut unless youre very careful with a flare wrench, pb blast or torch. thanks tons for your advice oldduke
