OK, so after some searching around on the forum I don't see a discussion specific to this question. My master has developed a very very slow leak inside the car. I already have a braided stainless line and the master looks recent, but who knows. The slave is clean and not leaking.
I know the preference is to replace the master and slave at the same time, which I'm cool with. The question is: what are your experiences with the different vendor offerings? I have read some people's posts saying that Houston's leaks after only a year or two - can this be attributed to large number theory (lots of people have Houston's master, therefore more failures are to be expected) or is there really an issue with them?
Hervey's are stainless sleeved and claim to be permanent, lifetime warranty, leak-free installs. The price is basically the same between the two.
I recognize the science behind John's claim that the 304 SS sleeved bores will never pit, but I'd always prefer to send my business to Dave and Julee if possible. I just want to get the best part and only do the job once.
Thoughts?
