Paul, Since you raise the question of changing over to silicone brake fluid I
might as well ask this question. Since I am rebuilding the entire brake system
and clutch system I could switch to silicone. Can I rest assured that any
rubber rebuild parts, seals, etc. that I purchase now are compatible with
silicone or do I have to be careful to purchase only certain kits or from
certain suppliers?

Re the material for the master cylinders, original ones that I have seen
over the years since the late 70s have been aluminium except for the 7/8
inch bore Brake Masters used on servo assisted cars, which have been
cast iron.
I suspect that the "625" cylinder received by Alex is 5/8 inch bore (=
0.625 inch).
One other point to consider Ron - you need to replace all of your seals
at least if going to silicone brake fluid. Even if not, I would suggest
that all new brake parts would be a good way to spend those restoration
bucks!
Regards
Paul
