Well, if you have a lathe & mill, you can always make one if you have to?

Thats what I'm afraid of. If I made one at the shop It would be better than the ones that are on the market. I would find a piece of Titanium or 316 stainless laying around the shop. Make the body and the piston. Bleed port. And you would be able to unscrew the cylinder body from the ears like a Mag light and just replace the Oring seal when it wears out. Simple, easy, light weight/strong, Will never rust or tarnish.

Why not put a stainless insert in the old slave cylider like they do the C3 brakes? Anyone have a source for the plunger rubber???

If you could find an old Wagner book, they list all their parts by size in the back index.

Even machining a new one from SS you'll still have the geometry problem of the pistong hitting the cylinder. This is a known problem from discussions involving Hib. (see archives of the net list)
I suppose a screw-in replacement would make it easier but....
a fix to the geometry would be better.

Exactly, but you know as well as I do it would not be out of titanium. Maybe TIN coated but unsure of what brake fluid would do? Some 316 might be hard enough for the weak, 304 for better corrosion or how about some 4130 heat treated. Hell cast iron would work and use a steel or brass Holley jet for flow control.
