Non-OEM hydraulic parts

[jchesshyre]

I want to replace my clutch master and slave cylinder seals soon. I've always gone with genuine parts for this kind of thing but they're really pricey for these (I'm sure the prices have gone up since I last did it). I'd probably stick with genuine for the brakes but has anyone successfully used pattern seals and pistons etc. for the clutch without running into problems? And if so which ones did you go for?

If theyre not leaking, I'd leave them alone.
Otherwise, consider secondhand replacements, they're always pretty cheap.

Or upgrade, I found a nice radial clutch mc from an rc8 at a good price a while back.

OK sounds like good advice

Surely not second hand seals though? These are the bits I was going to replace pre-emptively as I did them at 32,000 and am now at 70,000!

No, I meant second hand units, never seals.

Clutch slave units are commonly the same on late 90's and early naughties Hondas i.e Blackbirds, VFRs etc.
