It seems every fighter flying has P-63 brakes attached. Are they that good? Is there a short supply?

Considering how many war birds are flying these days and the deep pockets of the owners I'm surprised no one is making simple parts like new brakes ect.

He's search for the Master cylinder. The part on the rudder peddles that sends pressure to the wheel brake.
Many P-51s have the P-63 wheels and brakes but hardly any have the P-63 master cylinder.

Some places over in Europe/UK have some tight restrictions on how you make parts.
Its different than in the US.

The P-63 Master Cylinders have a big diameter of the pressure piston inside, and giving
more amount of brakefluid to the brakepistons .
We use on the 190 Disk brakes with 5 pistons on the saddle, so
the pedal way to brake is reduced with those big diameter cylinders...
