Recommend you get the master cylinder bored and brass sleeved. I did
mine this last fall and am very pleased with the work done and the
price. Fast turn around too. Under $100.00 total for the dual bore
brass sleeving of the '62 master. Contact them for specifics on your
price, shipping etc.
No monetary interest in this company, yada, yada, yada
Just want to pass on good craftsmanship at a decent price.
Got it done at:

Just a note of preventative maintenance once you get your master back.
Run taps through all the threaded holes to clean them out. The
restoration process they use creates some crud in the threads. It's
easier to get it all back together that way anyway.
Good Luck,

The master cylinder has rust in it. It's in spots. I have noticed about 4 pin
holes inside on the bottom. If there is rust inside the top half then I'm
guessing there is rust in the bottom half where I can't get to. Should I be
safe and just buy another one or is there a way to be sure I get all the rust
out so I don't have brake problems?
