Is the bore smooth with no pitting? Did you hone the master? Datsun masters
and wheel cylinders do not like to be honed as they were anodized to seal
and harden the aluminum and honing them removes the anodizing. I tried a
rebuild kit for my master many years ago and could never get a firm pedal no
matter what I did so I bought a new one and never had another problem.
Some of you have disagreed with me about the anodizing but I spoke with
several mechanics and a friend who works for Standard Automotive Parts and
he said all their aluminum brake and clutch parts are anodized to harden the
bores.
