Default Leaking tiliton series 75 master cylinders
Need help: only have 3,500 no race miles on a new 3/4 inch brake tilton master cylinder in a 539 framed ERA. Master cyl is leaking at the front boot, not the reservior adapter. Masters were installed with much care and attention to detail as I did not want to do this again. When I purchased the car the tilton masters were leaking and DOT3/4 and lifted the powdercoat. I sanded feather edged primed and repanted only to have it happen again. Are there better masters or is this a quirk. DOT 5 looks better all the time. Too much paint damage with a small problem.

Tilton seems to have strong pull on the market and lots of users, but so far I am not impressed. The ERA/ BMW 2002 steel slave /master clutch set up is perfect.

Anybody have problems with new aluminum 75 series Tiltons (Purcased last year) leaking out of the front seal.

Thanks
