Freddy has developed a leak in his slave cylinder. Seems like the
usual parts suppliers all carry an "OE" slave cylinder and a
reproduction slave cylinder. Any opinions as to whether the OE is
worth 2X+ the price of the repro? I have no problem coughing up the
money if it is genuinely of better quality. I'm pretty sure I have
rebuilt the one that is in there at least once over the years, so
this time I am inclined to just buy a new one. This is an alloy-body slave.
I have to say, I think this is the first thing that has gone wrong in
4-5 years! Admittedly, since I bought a '92 Saab Convertible a few
years ago I don't drive Freddy nearly as frequently or as far, but
the little guy is pretty darned reliable! Fourteen years of ownership
coming up in July. He's getting old - I try not to think what that
means about me, though it certainly gets harder to get in and out
every year....
