Good to hear they are standing behind their work.

GRM had a nice article on brakes sometime last year if
I remember correctly.

Basically, changing anything on your brakes is going to
change the  whole system. A re-bore will probably be a
very small change, but you'll be pushing slightly more
fluid, which to my thinking will increase pedal pressure
slightly, probably not noticably.

I have to give credit where credit is due. I emailed my complaint to Apple Hydraulics regarding my leaky master clutch cylinder. I got a prompt reply and a toll free number to call. I called and spoke to Lazar. He is going to replace my unit free of charge which by itself does not seem a big deal as that is a usual offer. However, I have to point out that I had it rebuilt nearly FIVE years ago. So after service is excellent.

One thing that does bother me though is that they re-bore the cylinder and fit oversize washer/seal things. I am not sure about this although I cannot put my hand on the problem (as the bishop said to the actress).
