What is wrong with using the stock slave that is bolted on it? If someone already snatched it, just get another one at the wreckers, 5$, or from the local auto parts store, 20$?.

I can usually save slave cylinders with a cheap 3-stone hone that fits a drill motor. Get one at the auto parts store. Mine has done 30 or so cylinders over the years. You can use the old parts over again if you don't go too big on the bore. Also, if you keep water vapor out of the brake and clutch system, they will last forever. I use sealed master cylinder reservoirs with vent lines going into zip lock bags, with a rubber band, to seal the corner of the bag around the the vent tube; that way, the system can breathe, as the fluid level changes, without getting moist air continuously going in and out of the reservoir. Brake fluid has a high affinity for moisture, and will suck it right out of the air; it then acumulates in the cast iron cylinders where it will make rust pits and eventually cause leaks past the seals. I know most of you already know about this, but just in case...................
