Default Master Cylinder Recommendation

Hi Guys,
I am building a Classic Roadster but need your help. I am running a manual brake system on my car which is a rebuild of someone else's mistakes. (390 with a C-6 trans) I have the Classic pedal box but I am having trouble finding a master cylinder to fit my assembly. I am running Wilwood Mustang II disc assemblies up front and the stock 8.8 discs in the rear with a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve. I have asked on the Classic forum page without much help. My pedal assebly has a round rod attached to the brake pedal and standard bolt holes to attach it to the firewall. I need a recommendation for a master brake cylinder that has an attached rod that appears to be about 5" long from the firewall to the attaching rod. I have searched Napa's master catalog for brake cylinders that have an attached rod. Most cylinders appear to come without them. I am hoping that someone has an idea that might work short of spending a day in a salvage yard trying to find a rod that may work then buying a generic cylinder. From the picture of the B&B master cylinder, it looks like what I am looking for. Does anyone have the specs for it. I'd prefer sosmething with a 1" bore and large dual reserivors. I am going to call Gramby tomorrow but I thought I give this forum a shot too. I have a B&B builder nearby (T-3) who does excellent work. I have always been impressed with Randy's work and his brake set-ups. Lesson learned, It Doesn't Pay To Correct Someone's Mistakes! Thanks in advanced for any ideas. Chuck
