China is making good auto parts. Ford and General Motors have many parts made there. Jaguar used many Ford and General Motors parts since the 1950's. I am glad somebody is making classic car parts.

China can also make dodgy parts! Many moons ago we had parts made in China that initially were good, then they did unauthorised modifications that gave problems. Of course any supplier can do unauthorised changes so one needs to be cautious! AlecG.

I was always happy with the brakes it was only the vacuum drain when parked that I wanted to fix​​​​​​. The brake pedal now is totally differant. It's like a different car..so much less effort required. Ime amazed how differant the feel is.
