A new master cylinder for a dual circuit car is going to run around
$200 (I know, Yikes!). There is a school of thought out there that the
bore is anodized and cannot be honed, but I have reason to believe that
the part is bored and machined after anodizing. (at least that is the
case with the rear wheel cylinders). Still, i don't imagine honing a
dual circuit master is as straightforward as honing a wheel cylinder.
A re-sleeve from white post restorations will be as expensive as a new
Master, but with the brass sleeve, and a lifetime guarantee, it might
be your best bet.
