In our global MFG economy, it's hard to hang my hat on a good auto-part brand. For my 1989 Volvo 740 turbo Rockauto lists these popular Master Cylinders:

CONI-SEAL Part # MC250350
CENTRIC Part # 13039020
DORMAN Part # M390016
RAYBESTOS Part # MC390016
BECK/ARNLEY Part # 0726331
WAGNER Part # MC110998

Price ranges from $36 to $100. Any of these MFG's stand out as currently making good master cylinder products? BTW the Coni-seal is a wholesale blowout at $36 but never heard and wondering about quality.

EDIT: Local parts supplier does carry Beck Arnley MC and the lady claimed Made in Italy on the box.
 
BECK/ARNLEY Part # 0726331
B&A is a reboxer of brand name parts. Chances are good it will be a first quality part.
Wagner and Raybestos should be okay but the others i don't know enough about to say one way or the other.
 
For Euro applications, Centric is usually a re-box of a name brand as well.

Dorman reman is probably OK; Dorman new would probably be from China.
 
I've used the bottom 4 brands before as replacement parts, none of them have left me stranded...
 
Yep, same as Brenden, used the 4 bottom brands...and had good luck, but no experience in the Master Cylinder category

Thanks all for your input.

I'll go with the Beck Arnley - $95 to pick up across the border in the USA vs $195 + 12% tax locally.
