Bob-
I believe White Post and Apple re-sleeve the master cylinder when
rebuilding. This makes the MC "better than new" . For my money, I ordered a
new one from British Parts Northwest (NFI) and bolted it in. I tried
rebuilding my existing MC (twice) and continued having the perverbial seep
ruining the paint. I have had no problems since installing the new one. I
cannot speak for the booster rebuild/new issue as I am running my original
(I think) booster in the 6.
