Does anyone know the Bendix rebuild kit number for this brake master? Or do you know how I can look it up? I have a couple of these masters that work well except for a small fluid leak at the back.

Don't know what the Bendix number is but an AC Delco part number 19113982 or 19114062 should work if you have a bore size of 0.875
Thanks Forest but this one is a 1" bore.
Here is an old article about it:
Did you actually measure the bore? I suspect the 2229331 is a casting number and may cover a variety of bores.
Looks like it's a regular brake master which areused on US car brands , it's not hard to find a rebuild kit into the USA.

It is a 1" bore. Still trying to find the correct rebuild kit.

stock USA part, GM-Pontiac aso . $25-45
Ebay- Summit- local store into the USA

Yes, I see some kits that might work. And I also see complete rebuilt masters cylinders for approximately the same price. The rebuilt units tend to fail quickly. It would be nice to get some fresh rubber parts that fit correctly. I might just go to ABS Power Brakes in Orange, CA and see what they have.
They also sell brand new master cylinders in steel only.
This brings up something Steve Wilkinson mentioned to me about 10 years ago. He said changing the OE 7/8ths" master cylinder to a 1" bore master cylinder gets rid of most the problems that plagued the stock system. I remember this sticking out in my head. This is a perfectly timed thread...I think I will just change out my OE master.
Does anyone have recommendations on a replacement Master Cylinder Brake Booster? I'm going to do a full rebuild on my braking system (calipers and master) so might as well replace the booster.
ABS Power Brakes, Inc. in Orange, CA will rebuild and replate your existing brake booster.

Hi I’ve been doing the same sort of research to find a rebuild kit and turned this up in older infopop/mustang notes. I believe you are looking for a A1Cardone 10-1518 rebuild kit they said Oreilly Auto has them.
I have been struggling with leaks from my plastic reservoir seal at the top of the MC on the 1” bore RH outlet Pantera cylinder. First it was molding flash deforming the seal. Cleaned that up installed new seals and it still leaks slowly (like over the winter) but leaks! I’m looking into reinstalling the one piece aluminum E2TA-2155 and the adapter. This is a 15/16 bore LH outlet cylinder. Does anyone have any thoughts on using that Ford cylinder? Anyone else having leak issues at the reservoir and/or success getting them to stop?
KR500, yes, the 1" is what I want, but another member here may have a MC and booster that will work so I may go that direction if it's 1". The Bendix is an option used for years and can be had at O'Reilly's Auto Parts in many other places for under $40. I was also reading through SoBills parts list spreadsheet that covers probably 4 decades of Pantera parts that work for different systems on our cars. There is also mention of a Mustang SVO master cylinder that is a 1 1/8" bore that mates to a 1980s Lincoln Continental master cylinder booster unit. Not sure of the benefit to going to a 1 1/8 " bore. So far I've not found any specific part number for that item. But supposedly it bolts right in. I'll post back here if I find it.
I had found a reference to Cardone #13-1897 to the 1 1/8 bore MC fitting Ford SVO Mustang 84-86 also Continental 74-89 and Mark VII 84-89. Another group member posted the booster body diameter for that cylinder (Hydro-boost) was larger and could present clearance issues.
Question: first I’ve heard of SoBills Parts interchange spreadsheet? Where can that be found?
KR500 I think SoBill sent it to me about 10 years ago. He lived Torrance CA and was such a resource for our cars. This list was his passion and I think he would just find info on forums and through different Pantera owners that was useful and record it in one place. Private message me your email and I will send the spread sheet to you. It has 8,931 lines/ posts, its searchable and it has posts multiple posts for probably every part on our cars and is categorized by system for most parts and lists many suppliers. Not sure how many of the companies are still around, but its a good data base to search.
Thanks for posting, did not think I could post an excel spreadsheet here! Almost 1,000 more lines! Its amazing whats in here!

For sure. I still periodically reference that spreadsheet but not near as much as I did just after I bought my Pantera in 2001. I relied on that spreadsheet and Pantera Place to learn how to keep the Pantera alive. 
Yep me too!
Ditto ‼️😁
Hi some general info (after some digging) on Standard Pantera Calipers:
E2TA-2155 83-85 Ranger/Bronco 15/16 bore LH Ports Alum one piece body Rebuild Kit from Rock Auto Wagner MK 106434
72-87 Full size Ford/Merc "Bendix 2229331"cast in bottom NAPA #P 2069 1"bore RH Ports Alum one piece body. Rebuild Kit NAPA#14-256
After attending the AZ Chapter Club Track Day and talking to a couple of the members there it seems that the modern choice might be the:
Wilwood #260-4893 with a 1 1/16 bore LH ports 2 pc construction with a low profile reservoir.
Another variant (but I have not physically seen one) is the 96-98 SVO Mustang 1 1/16"bore RH Port Alum 2pc Flat Profile Plastic Reservoir
If I have something wrong please comment
Re: Wilwood # 260-4893
You will need IPSCO part # IPS001 to adapt the M/C above to the OEM booster.
https://ipsco.org/newsite/prod...ake-booster-adapter/
BAER Brakes makes a very nice M/C too, albeit pricey. It's available in a few different piston diameters and either right or left side ports. It's also available with an integrated proportioning valve.
Whats interesting is when speaking with rebuilders (KARP) of boosters last week I was told by the owner that the parts (internal diaphrams in the booster) have not been available for 30 years! And yet there that some people are stating their boosters have been rebuilt, but it was explained to me that some of the boosters have good internals so they check the booster for leaks change a seal or two and put the booster back together.
So there was discussion that some master cylinder boosters were used out of 1980s Lincoln Continental's. My current booster looks to be the original and possibly a weak link in the brake system if I'm rebuilding calipers etc. So after some research I found dual diaphram boosters in both 7" & 8" diameters are available. Here is one specific option is a 7" booster and comes with a 1" master cylinder much like the Bendix units spoken of in this thread. Here's a link: https://www.speedwaymotors.com...-Inch-Bore,5084.html
There are also some boosters/mastercylinder combos that come with a larger bore of 1 1/8" (SVO Mustang) . I really didn't want to start an engineering project and am wondering if anyone has changed to a booster in a similar size? Pros and Cons of 7" vs 8" and varios sizes of master cylinder bores? What I gather is that a 1" master cylinder is larger than the 7/8's OE master cylinder, and going to the larger bore creates a harder pedal, but if you were to put an 8" booster (more power) maybe that offsets the pedal pressure needed. Interesting also that these boosters also mention that they work with lower vacuum pressures.

The Bendix master at the top of this posting requires the same IPSCO adapter as well.
If I switched to Wildwood #260-4893 brake master, would I feel any difference in braking compared to the old Bendix? Would it change front to rear braking ratio?
In my digging I found and handled a 84-86 SVO 1 1/8 bore RH port which was also listed for 79-93 Mustangs NAPA #NMC 2032 however it was Cast Iron. Weighed a ton. Also found a note which said “Large calipers required 73mm frt/54mm rr. We couldn’t find a reference that it was ever made in aluminum. It looks to me that the 94-95 (a refit for 79-93’s) Mustang GT was fitted with a 2 piece 1 1/16 bore RH port but has a steep profile reservoir so not suitable. A better option would be 96-98 SVO Mustang. 1 1/16 bore RH port 2 piece with a flat profile. Although I have not physically handled this option.
