I'm looking at replacing my clutch master/slave cylinder assembly. Rockauto has one (assuming chinese) for $130. Amazon has a RhinoPac brand part for $170. Does anyone have any experience with RhinoPac? Is it just re-branded chinese parts?

Rhinos are mean, putting a pack on one would be pretty tough.

Really though They are likely Chinese seems like everything else is these days.

HAHAHA...that's perty funny!! I called South Bend Clutch today and they thought that RhinoPac was an OEM part manufacturer. I'll order it from Amazon. They have a good return policy if I don't like the part. Oh and SBC's customer service was great!

Verrry interesting. I may need a slave cylinder.

Rhino pac is a brand name for AMA auto parts, here is their catalogue . They are actually AMS Automotive LLC here: AMS Automotive
415A Axminister
Fenton, MO 63026
United States . Reading their site, it's tough to say who actually owns them, but at least they are in Missouri...Mark

Thanks for the info Maybe368. I'll probably order it this week. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

The master and slave cylinder assembly showed up today. Upon initial inspection they look pretty good. They master cylinder and slave cylinder both have "made in USA" cast into them. I'm pretty stoked about that. I couldn't find a country of origin on the connector hose or reservoir. The kit came with a new nylon bushing and master cylinder push rod. I might have time to install them tomorrow. I'll post how it goes.
