Default replace or repair master cylinder?

I have a 1990 that ive been working on for a while now with the help of this forum, and once again, I have a question. My master cylinder seal is leaking and im looking to fix it cheaply but also safely. eBay has tempting offers on "brand new" master cylinders for a little over 100 bucks but i want something that i know for sure will fix the problem. Zip corvette has a brand new master for 230 for my year but id ideally just want a rebuild kit as everything else works fine, other than the slight leak. top flight automotive has rebuild kits for every year corvette except c4's. Anyone know where to get a good rebuild kit or am i stuck with getting a whole master for $230?
thanks for all your help, this forum has been my lifeline working on this car

I don't see a LUK MC listed or any MCs below $140.
