Well, the tilton rebuild effort was a failure. The rebuild kit piston/seals actually looked to be better quality than what I removed from the old clutch MC core - but I couldn't get it to make any pressure. Although the coarsest thing I used to polish the bore was 600 sandpaper, followed by 1000 and 1500, it must have removed enough material to prevent the seals from sealing and it appeares to be bypassing fluid. I cracked the brake light switch and the outlet line both loose and never could get any pressure from stroking the brake pedal. I took the leaking MC apart that I was replacing and it is far too badly scored to try to rebuild. So I ordered a new MC from Summit.
