One of the rebuilders stated that a good rebuild could not be accomplished without "extensive machining" of the MC which his shop did but others didn't do & just changed the seals. That was a guaranteed failure in short order was his feeling.
IMHO, unless he is retrofitting some sort of alternate parts, that rebuilder is full of it.
There is NO need to machine (or sleeve) a BTV master cylinder. The plunger moves fluid by simple displacement, sliding through a stationary seal. The OE hard-chrome plated plunger will, however, become pitted over time and work like a cheese-grater on the seal. A new plunger can be fabricated locally.
A badly corroded master cylinder housing should be replaced.
