I did have an original dual circuit MC just like the one you have. I gave it a light honing, cleaned it up and used the original seals (I could not find a replacement seal kit at the time and the original seals looked fine to my untrained eye). The MC worked great - firm pedal, no sinking feeling.
I located new seals for this particular MC from CVI. When I put the new seals in, the MC did not work properly. By all appearances the new seals were exactly the same as the originals - I spent hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working and eventually decided after many hours of exasperated messyness (is there such a word?) that a fussy MC is not something I want to rely on under any braking situation. So it now sits alone in my parts box.
I thought of getting it rebuilt by Whitepost, but decided to get the the IPD MC and conversion kit (it is on their website). Apparently there are other MC's that will work, but this kit has a stock look to it which is important to me.
Installation was straightforward and it works fine. I even rebuilt the original Girling booster and the whole braking system works really well.
My heart still yearns to have the original MC back in its rightful place so it may yet find its way to Whitepost, but for now I am happy with the IPD kit.
