Dennis,
I have been toying with that idea for years. What size did you sleeve down to and where did you get seals for them?
Curious,
Paul

Here is the design I stole from Rick Cline -- crude but it works. I sleeved two OE 5/8 master cylinders with some stainless steel tube I had.

I bored out to fit 5/8 ID thin wall tube so still used OE seals.
The pivot hole was welded up and re-drilled about 1/4 inch lower to reduce pedal force.
