Not sure if Jim at Shelby parts does them but would have to be a good start.

Cheers

To be add some clarification the Bendix Master style that has the flair seats to accept a flair is available. The earlier style Master for all 65 and early 66 which has pipe threads and requires a brass adapter is not available. However there are alternatives for those too. ;D

Many of us use Dot 5 for pleasure driven cars given the maintenance benefits . For those reading if that is your inclination also be sure to make the rebuilder aware of your intention to use Dot 5 otherwise they will default to the typical Brake fluids that are used to prime the rubber seals etc. Dot 5 is not compatible with the other brake fluid types and when it comes into contact with other brake fluids used during the rebuild process during seal installation may ruin the master cylinder rebuild. Also I heard that ether Whitepost or Apple will not warranty a master if you use DOT 5 . Just some information to use in making decisions that work best for you.
