Master cylinder parts vary enough that I won't try to sell the kits. 
The parts lists are only useful if you know that you still have the 
original MC, which is unlikely. You really need to send the MC here 
for me to rebuild. The cost for me to rebuild a single circuit MC is 
only $35 plus return shipping. The other parts I should be able to 
put together once I know exactly what you have. This is a '65 
squareback with front and rear drum brakes, right?

Rebuilding wheel cylinders is not difficult and I strongly recommend 
doing them yourself, ON THE CAR. You will save yourself a lot of 
grief if you don't try to remove them.   

I have a writeup on how to do these if you're interested.

If you choose to take them to a mechanic, you'll have a hard time 
finding one who is willing to rebuild; they'll all want to just 
replace the whole unit. That's lots easier for them and they make a 
lot more money at it.
