Is my only option an OE slave if I don't want a Taiwan cylinder? OReilly and Vatozone are Taiwan........... Does anybody know of a US or Japanese cylinder available?

Aren't OEM's made in Japan?
For my last leaker I got a repair kit and fixed the one I had for under $15.00. I didn't pay any attention to COO on the kit.

NAPA?
Yes, the OE cylinder is made in Japan, that may be the only option. I was hoping an old line US company like Borg Warner sold a US made unit. Flyin Miata has the OE unit for $55.
Rebuilding is an option, just need to get the old one off and apart so I can inspect the bore.
The NAPA unit is made in Italy......LOL...don't know if that is a good thing or not.
At least it's not Lucas.Quote:

FYI Oreilly sells wheel bearings from National Bearing, built in North Carolina.
