Alan,

Take the crappy Apple one and send it to Sierra Speciality Automotive.  The 
guy does a great job of sleeving that gives a leak free master.  I've used 
him to do the Bugeye, the Morris and the front slaves on the Austin.  He 
does great work.  His turnaround time is pretty short.

Here's his link: http://www.brakecylinder.com/
