Looking for an MC Rebuild kit 1 inch bore.

I am looking for a master cylinder rebuild kit for a 71 CS with Power Drum Brakes (no disk).
The manual indicates that I have a delco morane MC with a 1 inch bore.
The MC on my car is factory original.
Most of the stores / web that sell replacement kits do not post the bore size.
A friend of mine doing the rebuild just bought a kit and got the 1- 1/8 bore, which we found out later is only for the cars with Front disk/Rear drum.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks Retro,
I did find the #MK497 on the Raybestos web site, but could not find the bore size on the specification. Interesting the Rock Auto has the bore size clearly listed.
Thanks.

I bought a Master Cylinder rebuild kit from Rock auto with a 1” bore for my 71 CS power drum setup.
The kit had springs, gaskets and one Primary piston.
The kit does not include a Secondary piston.

My existing Secondary piston (aluminum) is all pitted. See attached pictures.

The question is, where do I get a Secondary piston with a 1” bore for my 71 CS?

Rock Auto does not carry them.

Below is a picture of my Secondary Piston. Notice the pitting.

orially has rebuilt units you can use the rebuilt unit are if u want to keep your original unit u can maybe swap the parts from the meman. unit to your original unit. these units are cheap like 20.00 to 30.00 a peace. just an idea I thought of running by u hope this helps

I may have to just buy a whole rebuilt MC with a 1 inch bore and remove the parts to put into mine.

I did end up buying a full MC and then removed the parts and put them in my original MC.
The new parts were identical.
Now I just need to paint and install and see whathappens.

Moral of the story, If you want to rebuild your old MC, just by a new one and swap the parts.
