So Grant,

Can you ream a 1" Master cylinder to an 1-1/4"? or Can you sleeve an 1-1/4 to an inch?

I agree the Chev M/c's are a side mount affair.. can I ream & re-sleeve them?

I'm sure a 1-1/4 inch cylinder could be sleeved to 1 inch, but why would you want to in the CMP context?
I'm not sure if both were from the same casting but they do have different part numbers cast into them. Without measuring to check, I'd be nervous taking 1/8 inch off each wall of the master cylinder.
I have seen someone make an adapter so that a side mount cylinder can be put in place of the CMP base mount type, no plans for this have been seen.

Default Re-sleeving

Grant,

I was thinking if you reamed a Chev Master Cylinder out to 1-3/8 and then sleeved it, that would be logical.. the strength is ok... if Chev M/c's are so hard to get then this is the logical step.. press in a SS sleeve and ream to 1-1/4"?
