GSF Master Cylinders...

So there's 2

652VG0250           BRAKE MASTER CYL-22.2mm           G2 16V 12/88 >10/91           34.20           Add
652VG0251                BRAKE MASTER CYL-FAG 22mm        G2 16V 12/88 >10/91        54.00         Add

So bigger's better right? How come the bigger one is cheaper? And what's FAG? I'm assuming Forged something?

FAG is the name of the German manufacturer.

they're the same size, just how gsf have listed it on the site. the difference is just the quality, so buy the expensive one

One is O.E. quality, one is a cheap one.

[twistedblack69]

How can I tell the difference if I'm buying a second hand one?

[rubjonny]

dont, just buy new
if you must go 2nd hand visit your local scrappy and check new polos and SEATs, quite a lot of them have the 22mm mc you need, even the base models. once off you should see '22' stamped into the casting.

[twistedblack69]

Are they prone to breaking/getting crappy??

[rubjonny]

not really, but they are so cheap new is it really worth the risk?

These are main importers of ATE which is as good as it gets. Last time I rang them it was about £45 delivered to me!

Fools economy to stick a rusty second hand part that could fail especially as they dont like to be disturbed after 20 years of use?
