Personally I would use a Howes master cylinder. You have to fab a simple connector for the pedal, but you get a rebuildable MC with stainless internals. They cost about $50. The standard bore for an XJ is .75" but I went with the .875 to compensate for milling the flywheel.

would you be willing to make an adapter for me, so that I can use a Howes MC? Let me know.

If you look, all I did was take the old attachement, cut it off, file it down, stick it in the end of a coupling nut and brazed it. Coupling nuts should be available at any decent hardware store. You could hack and file, then take it to any welding shop and for a cold 6 pack get it brazed at lunch time.
A cheap propane type torch with a MAPP gas canister will give you enough heat to braze it yourself. It's very simple. Heck, silver solder would work as well. All the force is in compression. All the brazing does is keep if from falling apart when your not pressing the pedal.
One of these would work as well and are handy to keep around.

Okay, hmmm..... what do you use as a filler material?
brazing rod. It's like solder, only a big rod. Available at any welders supply shop.

Hmmm....Doesn't look too hard, what is the learning curve on this? I mean I have welding experience when I was in metal shop in junior high. But that was 15 years ago, also I am an aircraft mechanic. So I am somewhat knowledgable in repairs and working with my hands. I am just wondering if I should do some test brazes before going for the big one. :laugh3:

I am thinking that all this is just a bunch of hassle, anyone try the ACDelco MC?

It's trivial.

Okay let me get this straight:
1: prep the surfaces
2. add the filler
3: heat the metal with a torch
4: hot water immersion
5: good to go
it this correct?
If that is all then it is easy, I just have to get the parts and equipment.
