Man I can relate Brian. The quality of parts has to be watched pretty carefully.....and even then just like in your case sometimes the rpoblems don't show up for while down the road.

I think Don's on the money about the electrolysis or galvanic corrosion.....but still the manufacture must know his product is suceptable to this.

One of the the most frustrating parts of my build on the Plymouth besides finding the parts I wanted one of the most frustrating parts was the quality of what came in (it took 3 master cylinders to get one that worked...and like you these were not cheap auto zone rebuilds but from a real parts store).
