Recommendations for Brake Master Cylinder for an 87 Nissan Maxima

[edge10]

Looks like I have a rear seal leak on the brake master cylinder of my 87 Nissan Maxima. Not surprising given the age . Choices for replacements look are NOS (are now discontinued) from either Raybestos or Wagner or "new" from parts store brands made by the larger aftermarket suppliers. Which would be a better choice ?

I like AutoZone because they give me $20 back for every 5 visits over $20 each. All those parts likely come out of the same factory these days anyway.

Have you for sure laid eyes on the replacements that say they're available?

Pretty lucky to even find one of this vintage IMO the way things are today.

Rockauto has quite a few but almost all of them say "Wholesaler closeout" That includes brands like Raybestos, Wagner, etc. Even the repair kits are on closeout too. Better hurry!

Long after Rockauto doesn't have any more, they'll still be on Ebay from auto parts liquidators and such.

Is this something nice that you will keep indefinably? Maybe have it rebuilt. https://whitepost.com/brake-sleeving-rebuilding-services/ If it's just a driver and the bore isn't pitted, any of the repair kits would be fine.
