Master Power Brakes

Has anyone ever used Master Power Brakes? They only do brake conversion set ups. Here's the webpage for a '70 C10.

https://www.mpbrakes.com/product-cat...t-c10-1970.asp

I'm sick and tire of trying to deal with CPP. Nothing of theirs seems to work for me. I'm hoping a brake only provider will give me better results. They look to be the best combination of price and quality.

Thanks!

Re: Master Power Brakes

Does MPB make their own stuff, or do they just relable the same stuff everyone else sells from China?

Good question, but unfortunately, from my research, they all use offshore produced parts.

Are you having a problem with CPP tech support or their parts ? Everything I've used CPP parts wise has worked for me . buy thru SUMMIT for the fast free shipping and customer support .

Re: Master Power Brakes

The quality of the parts has been subpar in my experience. Two leaking MC's. Tech support is pretty good when you can get them on the phone. I've been on hold anywhere from 15 to 30 for every call.

Re: Master Power Brakes

That master cylinder and booster setup looks identical to the one I have in my 1972 GMC C15. Except mine is from CPP and it works fantastic. It appears to me, that it would pretty much be the same offshore stuff, just painted and/or badged in their name.
