Brake master is toast

Been monitoring the brake fluid loss....
After some ~spirited~ driving today, lost about 3/4" of fluid, well I didn't lose it, it's just on my shoes, brake pedal, rubber floor mat, garage floor, living room carpet etc...
Anyway, I'm not going to rebuild this myself, I tried with the BGT and failed miserably, so I was wondering if anyone knew a source for rebuilding these, please let me know.
While the system is bled, I'm going to change brake pads again, every set I've had squeeks! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif
Cheers all....
 
I sent mine to Sierra. I haven't gotten to the point of using the mc yet, but the work looks great and others have positive reviews.

Hi Baz, send the cylinder to white post restorations in White post Virginia. They are the best! Regarding the brake squeal get and install some Moss Motors anti squeal PADS not shims "PADS" and you will be good to go.---Keoke

Alright, I'm busted... doing autocross.
In all honesty Jeff, It's been a long time since I 'bedded' in brakes, and actually forgot.

Thanks for the sources of the repairers, I appreciate that, I'll send my B master and clutch master and slave too, get em all done.

Call around town and see if you can find a Cardone parts dealer. If so, you can probably have everything hydralic in your car done for less than what it will cost you to have Whitepost do your master. Not knocking Whitepost... but they serve the show car crowd more than the driving crowd.

You may want to check out rockauto.com. They sell Cardone stuff. Just check the pictures carfully before you buy. They recently sent me an MGB water pump (I think) for my 1500. When I told them they had the wrong pump listed in their catalog, they told me that I was wrong, and they actually sent me the correct pump. It took a little diplomacy to convince them of their mistake. They are not British car savy, but their parts are VERY inexpensive. And Cardone typically backs their rebuilds with a nice warranty.
 
My WhitePoint MC rebuild for the Bugeye may be show quality on the inside but it is just regular stuff on the outside.

Oh yea, works and seals like a charm and comes back to you ready to install.
