If you are looking for originality there is a company in VA USA that can
sleeve the cylinder. They bore it and insert a brass sleeve. They do work
for Ford A Models and the like.
It's not cheap. But it's better than $300.00
If you want a non original, go take a look at some of the on-line speed shop
guys. I have seen at Summit Racing a dual master with pedal and all that
very well might have LBC application.

Subject: master cylinder rebuild
Anyone out there have any luck or tips on how to install a kit in a 1970
spit master cylinder? The kit is only about 40 bucks and a new master is
about $300.00! I am not surprised the master failed as it seems I had to
really stand on the brake pedal to make it work, pads and shoes have been
replaced........does this sound normal? I have just got this project up and
running it has been sitting for at least three years so I guess the clutch
master and slave will be the next to go, maybe I should put kits in all of
them rather than wait for them to fail. Any ideas or comments will be
greatly appreciated as I have no experience with rebuilding these units.
thanks for the help, Gary.
