I found a hairline crack in the cap on my brake master cylinder. So I decided to get a new one. I called the Ford dealership today. They told me they can get it, but it will cost...
$43.50
WTF??? For a freakin' plastic cap? Are you kidding me?:shocked: $5 would already be way too much. I bought the car for 200 bucks. What happens if it needs a new radiator cap someday --- is it just totaled? Walking around at night in the wrong area of Philly with 43.50 could get you a whole different kind of cap (in the a**).
Even the parts guy at the dealership was surprised. I think Ford's pissed it didn't get a bailout from Uncle Sam or something.
Worst part is, there is no aftermarket replacement apparently... AutoZone, Peppy's and NAPA all said they don't have a part for it.:nonono:
Sorry for the rant, but does anyone know where I can get an MC cap that does not cost more than its weight in gold?
