who makes GM master cylinders? anyone know who makes GM's clutch master clyinders? this is one of those parts that i'd prefer to buy genuine replacement parts on, but if GM's part is just a re-badged version of a brand commonly available at part stores, i'd like to save some money. someone told me the brand they sell at O'reilly autoparts is it, but i cant find supporting evidence.
while we're at it, anyone know who makes other GM parts? i know NGK makes the irridium spark plugs, PBR makes the brake calipers, and ARE made the firehawk wheels...

trying to figure out the moral dilemma of whether a skilled child laborer is better than a reverse engineered chinese knockoff...
oh well at least it isn't overpaid Canadian worker...
I'll never figure out how a clutch made in Canada sold in the US sells for <$400, but comes to $1100 in the country that made it...
or better yet the crude oil shipped to the states gets processed and tacked on an extra $2 a gallon when sold back to us as gas...
I think I need to go back to my ignorant bubble, the real world is starting to **** me off.

They must have an OEM division as well.

SladeX,
Canadians make more because of the higher quality of the work, I thought everyone knew that
.
But while were on the clutch topic, NAPA makes a Master Cylinder with different part numbers for the 98 and 02 Z28. Has anyone tried them?

Seems to be working great so far. It has a lifetime warranty too.
