Hi Craig, these master cylinders are rare as hens teeth, and super expensive brand new. If your old one is good there is a uk company who will hone the cylinder and line with stainless steel. But sit down before you ask them how much. Seal kits are available if you hone out the bore yourself. Try Dunsfold in the UK.
Alternatively purchase an Series 2 master cylinder and fit that (the CB type for the 88"). Bill at the club can order this from britpart. It will fit your S1 but you need to drill a new hole in the chassis to fit. The push rod might not be the right length, so keep the old one. Also the old Master has 3 hole mounts the new just 2, but it's much cheaper... this is the route I am taking.
Good luck.
