Unsafe Brake and Clutch

I took my 1968 classic beetle to Safety Brake and Clutch to be bled as I had fitted rear disk brakes, they installed a new master cylinder at 2.3 times the cost I could get a new one for.<br> <br> Upon receiving the car back, the brake system would bind badly and at one stage overheated the engine. it was returned under warranty and they had 4 full working days to look over the system.<br> <br> Upon receiving it back the second time it was still binding. I decided that I'd have to investigate myself and started at the master cylinder where the brake pedal appeared to get jammed. I carefully removed the rod from between the pedal and cylinder and found that it was badly bent. This is a safety critical component and should have been picked up by safety brake and clutch either the first or second time they had the car. Essentially they are trying to kill me! <br> Now I have to find an unusual spare for a vintage car.<br> <br> Their service was understanding but the job was expensive and ******* and most certainly not safe.
