Just sent my 70 L78 master cylinder to white post restorations for the same problem. I've heard nothing but good about them. https://whitepost.com/

Apple hydraulics did mine. Good service.
The research I did seemed to favor a brass sleeve rather than stainless the master cylinder bore is very thin wall and the higher stress of a SS sleeve had reports of cracking the casting if the interference fit isn’t perfect.

I've done it. Very easy to do as long as your bore isn't too bad. You might be able to get away with just honing it. If it just needs seals, that's a no brainer.

Thanks for the info. I’ll pass it to a friend. I’ll get pics from who he sends it to and post them. ����
