If there is light scoring in the bore, a wheel cylinder hone will clean it up. If it's too bad, or pitted, it would be a a good idea to have it bored and sleeved. White Post Restorations can do this. Hope this helps... [oo]======[oo]

Brake and Equipment has really stepped up to the plate to become experts in restoring Mopar master cylinders, I've had them do a number of parts for me over the years with no complaints, in fact I've got one up there that they are working on for me right now. http://www.brakeplace.com/

When I closed the hood on my Super Bee, the master cylinder punched through the air box for the scoops, so while I am fixing that I might as well get my original master cylinder done. Got to go back to the original because it is the only one that will clear the airbox. Tried a MOPAR performance unit, and it is taller than the replacement from Stainless Steel Brake Corp.
