If you still have the rubber brake hoses change them to braided as it gives a firmer feel to the pedal, only by a small amount but every little helps.

Other places and other makes are out there, 1st thing I came across. GSF and Euro car parts used to sell them as well…

pretty sure the fitment is different, use a new 22mm 16v master cylinder :)
