That of course is the smarter overall plan,
But some people love to tinker, like to get more life out of a part,
And don't mind if it only lasts for a while more............just gives them
more opportunity to bond with their vanagon...........so it 'can' be a
viable choice, to go the low dollars route, for the right person.

About 8 years ago I bought "used, known good" clutch master cylinder for my
'84 Westy. It did work --- for about a year --- then failed 3,000 km from
home. I don't skimp on parts anymore. If you're committed, as many of us
are, to keeping your van for the long-term then buy parts that are going to
last.

Cheers,
Doug
