If you don't care about originality, the tilton 74 series master
cylinder is a cheap replacement. Available from most places including
summit. The tilton pushrod is too long and needs to have the thread
cut longer and then be cut off shorter (in that order to get a good
thread), or you can reuse the current pushrod in the new tilton MC.
5/8" bore for a squiggy pedal or 3/4 for a little stiffer and shorter
pedal. (I prefer 3/4 with my centerforce clutch).
