Clutch Master
I would always prefer to replace a clutch or brake master cylinder with a
new unit rather than futzing and trying to rebuild a unit. Usually
rebuilding these units results in either failure or short lifespan (i.e. 10K
miles of use or less). Just get a new clutch master unit, they aren't that
expensive.

I can't really comment on this but I suspect doing the helicoil is not
really the preferred solution. There are tons of used BJ8 calipers around,
why don't just swap it for a rebuilt unit (most healey suppliers have em) or
buy a good used unit from a healey supplier and rebuild it yourself. I
would never cheap out on anything in the hydraulic system, especially the
brakes!
