That requires some pretty creative setup work to get the bore hole parallel with the spindle so the hole can be bored accurately. Sometimes a special mounting fixture needs to be fabricated first. Once the hole is enlarged, then a piece of seamless stainless steel tubing is pressed in, and bored and honed to the proper diameter. If the master cylinder has a blind hole with out openings on both ends it's a bit more difficult to machine it, but not impossible. The fluid entry and vent holes can be drilled by going through the fill hole before final finishing of the bore. It's a pretty long and tedious process, but the stainless liner should last about 3 days past forever! Jerry
