Doing the 5 lug swap on my other SSP mustang, got a brand new 93 Cobra Master Cylinder and as soon as I put fluid in, it starts leaking at the seam where the top and bottom of the pl;astic reservoir are formed together. Now this holds up my progress big time while I wait for another one. You would think quality control would be a little better!! This was a Dorman MC.

That sucks man! It seems like things like this are becoming more the norm lately. Just speaks to the labor force these days. Nobody give a $h!t

Go get a stock 94/95 Mc from the same parts store and swap the reservoirs out. Return the stock one and let them know the reservoir leaks and ask for your money back.

Ah crap, I forget you are in HI so that may not work.
