I ended up removing the guts of the new part and installing them into the original RHD master cylinder. Worked great.

Thought id share that for anyone with an imported vehicle.
That's awesome information for somebody with a RHD. Could potentially save a bunch of time and money. If there's no damage to interior hard parts, as an alternative you could install an o-ring kit. For anybody trying to save the original cylinder it's important to check the bore for pits. If it's got pits (result of corrosion), you should finish hone the cylinder before swapping parts. Most auto parts stores have hones that can be spun with a drill motor.
