They were using brass here in the 1970's. ( a large brake company called BRELCO ) But with the aluminium alloy pistons used in some applications, weird electrolosis type stuff had them behaving oddly. They went over to stainless steel because of the problem. I had my MB Jeep cyls done in brass ..the machinist drilled through the bleed screw hole on a rear cyl. too much and into the opposite wall . It let go as I was coming down a steep driveway ..no brakes . I could have sued the idiots who did it .
