I'm a member of many years who has been otherwise occupied with other projects of the 2 wheeled type for a good while (so my apologies for lack of interaction with club). I have however kept my Marlin C417 LFF on the road all this time until a few months ago when my brake master cylinder gave up due to bore corrosion and new seals did not fix it. Here is where help is needed:
Can anybody give me advice and direction on what I may have missed and what new available assembly options (including servo) are likely to fit my pedal box (from doners or kit car suppliers - with least disruption/effort)

- It had a Ford servo with Master Cylinder No 6118138 (Lucas/Girling 74066315) off a 82 to 88 2.3D Sierra. I searched extensively for a new one all out of stock and suspect no longer made.
- I got a newer near identical one and machined servo to cylinder flange to make it fit, but I cannot get brakes to bleed - even my local garage tried with pressure bleeder. (we cant see any faults with new one in fact got 2 and both the same)
- After months of strips, rebuilds and re bleeds I am at a dead end.
