I can only think of White Post Restortions, White Post Va. I'm sure there are others that will be listed by other CF guys.

Being as how the wheel cylinders cannot be seen, it's probably cheaper to replace them with new OE equivalent rather than sleeving. They should be commonly available as they are the same as used on full size pass. cars.

If you want Stainless sleeves, Brake & Equipment Wharehouse, MN. does them and they do a great job. They are the only ones mentioned that do stainless last I looked, the others will sleeve in Brass. I did mine several years ago and was very pleased. Never had to touch them since and they still look and function perfectly. People SS sleeve the calipers all the time, so why not do it on the drum cars? Yes it costs more, but you gain reliability and can have the originals. Pilot Dan

I just received a 1" master cylinder back from Brake & Equipment with a SS sleeve and it was perfect. The correct piddle holes in the reservoir were replicated exactly and the groove for the C clip was chamfered on the inside edge to facilitate installation of the kit.

A quick summary:
White Post Restorations
Apple Hydraulics
Lone Star Brake and Caliper
Brake and Equipment
I have seen the work from the first three and recommend any one of them. I do not know of the fourth company, but they may do excellent work.
I believe Richard Fortier (former Paragon Owner) is also doing this work. He is known for his high quality.
That should be enough companies (5) for you to pick one. Lone Star may have the master you seek. You could also try CSSB Inc in Florida for the master.
