Real close to gold plated. The master is unique to the C, actually there
are several that are C specific. The next problem was that only about 9000
MGC were produced in the 2 years of production. The North American market
got the oh so fun dual line system and the rest of the known universe got
the much simpler single line system. I'm not sure if the single line master
is interchangable with anything else, but the two versions for the NA
market are MGC specific. When you can find them, the one with integral
resevour is in the mid $300 range and add a couple hundred for the external
version. And that's just the begining of the fun! A couple of boosters that
the rebuild kits run $200 each. White post wants about $900 to rebuild a
pair of them! Trust me, I've been researching this a lot lately.
