IMHO,
The main problem with rebuilding is corrosion in the master cylinder bore.
If you have corrosion, which is likely after 30 odd years, the new seals may
work for a time, but the corrosion pits will eventually cause them to leak.
I would replace the master with a new, original, Pantera master cylinder.
These are available from all the vendors. The cost of an original master
cylinder divided by the expected life span amounts to zip. I am not an originality
freak, but the original part does the job, fits, and has all the right
connections in the right places.
I would not replace the master with CNC master cylinders which are also sold
by the vendors. The installation requires cutting and flaring the existing
tubing and the supplied fittings are not really correct. I had one of these,
but sent it back and got an original.
IMHO,
