People have had good results with the new MCs from Ebay, just get the right thread pitch.

Those $80 units? I like the look of those. I may just pop for one.

Also, new development. Just realized there IS a leak...

Took the handle off and the boot around the piston is leaking. The whole end of the lever that sits in the master cylinder was wet.

Yes, a rebuild kit would be much easier and less expensive. Not sure where you get aftermarket kits, but you can purchase OEM parts: OEM parts layout
I would get parts 1 & 7 at least.

Good thing you found a fault, there is nothing good about the feeling when your gut says there is a fault but nothing can be found. Not trying to teach old dogs new tricks, but I've found that not everyone knows that sometimes you also need to bleed the brakes at the master and not just at the calipers. Good advice can not be repeated enough, so if you did know let it slide, for the people who didn't know, well, now you know
