    Yup, already did the mod from your other posts cautioning against it. I did learn that a rotary file on these parts is not a great idea. I had all kinds of splinters for days I had to pull out LOL.

    I have been reading around and saw one other guy grind away the horizontal, what look to be like mounting boss bolt holes, on the top side of the master cylinders themselves. Looks really clean and then I'm thinking of having them powder coated to match my suspension (silver hammer tone color). Obviously removing all the internals and mask appropriately. Should turn out pretty slick.

    Yes.....I have learned to NEVER use a carbide cutter on any metal parts unless I have the shop vac hose right there at the cutter as I'm cutting so all of the splinters go right from the cutter into the vac.

    Use a double cut tool instead of a single cut and this problem will disappear.
