I'm ready to replace the master cylinder on my '66 SV since my rebuild must have failed - so I'm looking for the quickest/easiest way to replace - but SS only has Tiger masters in stock (which will work with a spacer and new line + adapter) - but I'd rather get it done a little cheaper.
Are there non-stock 5/8 master cylinders that people have used which are nearly stock to install?
I'm really looking for something that is < $150 for the Tiger setup and won't force me to search for clevis/spacers/lines which will work. Otherwise I'll just get the Tiger setup from SS.
As to what I've done (and I just want to replace the master at this point):
I've replaced the slave, put in a new line, and "rebuilt" the master with kit from SS, and used a vacuum system to bleed the system - and I'm still only getting about 1/4" of travel on the slave. On the rebuild - I was only able to replace one of the two gaskets on the piston (the one on the end, and ensured that the cup was facing out toward the engine). The other I could not find in the kit/didn't see it in any pictures, and could not easily deduce how to get the piston apart on that end to easily replace (if necessary).
