[DeTomaso] Clutch Master Cylinder

[clay willmott]

A new one is 69 bucks (Stock) with Steve Wilkinson.  I dont think you can beat that plus yours is likely pitted and some experts have told me it is not worth the time and effort or unsafe to rebuild without at least honing the bore etc.
 
If you get the stock one from Steve and save the pushrod/washer/snap ring intact you just put the master over this and reuse only the rod/washer/snap ring and your done.
 
I am biased towards using Steve now as so far everything he has sold me fits.  I though a polished or CNC  unit would look nice but I am sure it would require a lot of work to fit in as Bill suggested.  Almost half of everything I have bought from other vendors NEVER fits and one vendor owes me 600 Bucks in refunds for over two months and I am getting the run-around about my money. All vendors have been nice and helpful but down time awaiting correct parts and paying for shipping twice is not fun.  Not to mention sometimes having to deal with re-stocking fees.
 
Just my opinion though.
