Thanks guys!

I am significantly more confident now that I will be able to make this master cylinder work.

Brendan, did you end up using the rebuild kit? If your MC was not in rebuildable shape and you have the kit as excess, let's talk.

Also, if there are parts in that pile that you need and are excess to me, we should talk about that too.

Knowing that the 11/32" hole is for the brake light switch makes sense.

One thing that I am concerned about is the end plug. The MC I have came with a copper washer between the end plug and the body of the master cylinder - but the ID of the washer is greater than the OD of the plug threads...and the illustration from the shop manual doesn't appear to show a washer there at all. It appears from the photos of the rebuild kits that there is a rather large ID washer of some type that comes with the kit. Is it for the end plug or somewhere else?
