Help I D this Master Cylinder

It just blew out. Thankfully, it was in the garage when it gave out. Unfortunately, I do not believe it is what is in the build manual. It’s a Contemporary made by them in 1991.

The question is what is it and where can I by the rebuild kit for it. The only id is on the band around it. It says ¾, which is the bore size. It is for the front wheels and there is a matching one for the rear. Then I have a third that is for the clutch. It says 1 on the band.

Any info would be great.

Cobraman,
That looks to be an old old version of a tilden MC.
I bet that a newer Tilden 3/4 will fit right in there. You can get the one that has a remote reservoir too. Man those old brake light pressure switches are antiques. If I were you I would eliminate that feature and put an under dash unit in that works when the brake is depressed it releases the switch.

The Tilton cyls come in a kit form in a box w/ every resivoir or attachment needed. They run about $60-$68 .They may not be shown in Jeg's or Summit but they have and will deliver.Just ask. 3/4" sound like a brake master cyl.?

CobraMan -
The photo resembles a cast iron CNC brand master cylinder I bought a few months ago. If yours feels heavy like iron rather than light like aluminum, it is probably a CNC product.

Tommy is right,
It looks to me like the CNC brand, that is if it's steel.

It is steel. Very heavy.

What's the recomendation? Repair? If so, anyone know of a surce for parts? Replace? Probably Wilwood.
