Default anyone ever rebuild a Mcleod master cylinder

I have one that is leaking from the boot and not holding pressure like it should. Thunder sales the seals kit to rebuild it. I was just wondering if anyone has done this themselves. Thunder will rebuild them for 75 bux plus parts but the seals are only 5.99. I took it apart last night and it looks simple. The only other thing that Thunder does is replace boot and spring. Mine are still in good shape. I hope this stops the leaking and I can hit third again at 6K. This stocker just don't flow enough fluid and I do have the drill mod already done on the braided line. Just looking for someone who has done it and been successful. :help:

Its simple, be sure to hone the cylinder when its out, if you dont it will fail again.
