Master Cylinder: recommended replacement?

[OptimusPrimeSr]

So I've got a leak in my master cylinder and need to replace that mofo. Mechanic wants to charge me ~$400 so I'm doing it myself.

I'm stuck @ Step 1, deciding on replacement part. I did a quick search for master cylinders at Advanced Auto based on an 87 LX and the price results vary $30 to $150 and www.hondaautomotiveparts.com wants ~$200 for a replacement.

anyone have any recommendations? I'm not committed to Advanced Auto or anything, I just usually go there first when trying to get an idea of how much I should be spending on replacement parts.

I picked up a Raybestos a little while back for around $80. Turned out to be a new Nissin.

you could go with Beck. I used to work iauto parts and I'd say 99% of the time they are Japanese in the box

I've also had real good luck with Beck Arnley's stuff.

does this mean it wouldn't work in my car? or are you simply referring to the size of the reservoir?
