Many VW owners send their master cylinders to a place in Lismore from Memory...
they put a stainless steel sleeve inside the cylinder and replace all the seals etc....
the stainless steel never wears out...
sorry, I can't remember the name I sent mine to..
was a few years ago....
cheers

Any of the brake specialists will be able to help with a resleeving service,I use Newcastle Brake and Clutch who have the cylinder resleeved and then
fit the kit,when we receive the cylinder it is ready to fit to the car.

Thanks for that Phil.
I called Tooleys this morning at 8.15. They'll have a new German master cylinder (just under $200) and a new OE German Brake Reservoir (about $36)
delivered here this arvo.
Sweeet!
Thanks again guys.
Steve
