You can use a early 80's(mine is a 82) master booster. They are aluminum instead of cast iron. The only thing you will have to get is the reseroir and run new brake lines from the cylinder to the differential pressure switch. I got a new one with reserior on ebay for about 45 dollars total cost.

If you overfill a master cylinder, it can push out the vent hole, (in the cap) when the brakes are applied. Might want to check that.

Be sure the resivor clamps are tight, if not it will leak between the resivor and the master.
