[TR] master cylinder fix

I had posted to the list concerning rebuild kits I'd installed in tr-3 
(girling) 
master cylinders which had been so tight they stuck when pushed in.  

I decided to simply buy new master cylinders but then thought if I was going to 
pitch the old ones, might as well fiddle with them more and see what happens.  
One of them was looser than the other so I started there and honed a little 
more 
and it worked much better.  The other one took lots more honing but eventually 
it also now works well.  I'm going to use them and watch them carefully.  The 
only concern I have is that I might have honed too much (or didn't get the 
inside honed evenly) which might result in earlier failure.  Wondering if 
anyone 
on the list has done this or has a warning for me concerning the fix.
Just thought it might be helpful to share what I tried.
