Yes, I am pricing new master cylinders. As to the funky little slip-on clip things, I just noticed that Chevs of the Forties lists modern circle clips along with the original style. I guess it's acceptable...except to the purists. Mine will be a mixture of both, and which ever is closest at hand. I have worried one set of shoes on the rear, but without the cylinder. I am gaining.
I also see a '53-'54 "Double Duty & Hydramatic" listed that looks a lot like the mounting pattern on the '39, and is a bit more than 1/3 the price. I will dig through Napa and Advance Auto, and see what they have to say about it. It may be a much cheaper options, and it may be...wrong in some way. I will find out.
