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.

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.

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.
