Clutch Master/Slave dying again

So I am losing my clutch master/stave every two years or so. It's not like I have some crazy clutch pressures, just a Zoom with a million miles.


Anyone know if a metal master and slave are available for these?

the master I replaced from oreillys 6 months ago is metal, looking back in my receipts, power torque cm1295, I did a custom clutch masters clutch 5 years ago, southbend was back ordered, but did not address hydraulics, master started failing needing 2 pumps to engage, fluid looked like rubber had decomposed, replaced it and flushed clean, and im still running same slave.

by the way, for what the next replacement is worth, its got a lifetime warranty, and like you, plastic is not appealing to me either.

I see both Power torque master and slave cylinders are listed as aluminum.
