a little guidance on brakes please
I have a 71 Jimmy 2 wd front disc rear drum brake set up. Factory original? The master cylinder is apparently leaking as it has a "wet rusty" appearance and the paint is blistered and peeling off the booster. Perhaps from sitting. Drove this approx 400 miles in the past year. Everything works fine (I think). It seems. Should I have master cylinder and booster replaced? Is there a "neater" smaller???? replacement I could use that would give a better appearance. Not interested in going chrome. Not that neat. Thanx for any help/input.

Re: a little guidance on brakes please
Personally, I only buy aluminum M/C now.
No more rust to fight. PerformanceOnline.com sells them. Wilwood would be my first choice, though.
