Pm Kurt Burdick, I think everyone chimed in for him and he was happy with the chosen company.

I sent mine to Karps in California. http://www.karpspowerbrake.com/
He bored out the sleeve and installed a stainless steel sleeve with all new components. I also had them powder coat it

Kurt or Dan, please PM me the price you paid. I want to rebuild my original this winter. Repop is about 100 U.S, I assume this route would be more?
Also did they refinish the lid, seal, and the hold down straps.

What's the ball park figure on having a company rebuild master cylinder.
Does anyone offer a rebuild kit for the intermediate steering shaft.

I believe my M/S was about $275. That included a stainless steel sleeve, powder coating and shipping.....both ways.
It was an extra $40 to have it powder coated.

I've used Corvette Stainless Steel Brakes products on my Vettes ... always good work. Not sure if they work on other models ... here is their website. TAZ

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER ANY REPOP PARTS FOR Your OLDS <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif
NO, the lid....seal and straps.....they do not service. Steve Gregori can take care of your lid and straps.

I have used Whitepost with good results. http://www.whitepost.com/
If it is a survivor piece that you don't want repainted, make sure you tell them when you first do the work order. They did a great job on my 1973 SD455's master cylinder and it came back looking just like I took it off. (other than it was no longer leaking out the back). The turnaround time was only a week or so, too.
Here's what mine looked like before:

Sure smart guy. Let's remember back not to long ago when I found a 409 master for my L78 at Autozone.

That's hit or miss Darren, but sometimes you get lucky and get a reman with an original casting. I used to deal with an auto parts store where the counter guy was good friends with the picker at the warehouse. He had him look for ones with the right casting numbers on them for me.
