The bad news is we've not been able to find a kit either. We have talked with several companies about making them, but so far nothing has moved forward.

We have one new kit left that we are not selling - that is our template for someone to make a kit from.

In a worst case scenario, we can probably provide a kit with the correct seals on the wrong piston - and you'd have to transplant the seals from the donor piston to your existing piston.

I will say those master cylinders are very strange. I have a used one here and there is NOTHING else on the market even vaguely close to it.
