Rear brake cylinders

Post by jagnut66 »

Hi,
Is there any advantage, do you think in buying (what I presume is) NOS Quinton Hazell rear brake cylinders, as opposed to a pair off a main supplier like Bull Motif?
Many thanks,
Mike.

NOS = best, "genuine" = second best, "pattern" = bottom of the pile.

I would think NOS Quinton Hazell is a pattern part, i'm sure Lockheed was the original manufacturer of the braking system.
