MG MGA - Which clutch slave cylinder?

The major parts suppliers offer two different clutch slave cylinders for both the MGA and the MGB. One is Lockheed, and the other is an aftermarket model. The Lockheed cylinder costs about 3 times as much as the aftermarket one.

In the experience of the Forum's readers, is the Lockheed model worth the difference?

Thanks in advance for your comments! Mike Whalen

The cheap one works okay. Ditto with hydraulic hoses. There may be some fit and finish issues, like lack of chamfer on threads that makes assembly a bit of a fiddle, metric sizes on wrench fittings, burrs on castings.
