Thanks Bill,
There are many well known sources for sleeved cylinders. I want to do it
myself
I did find out that I can get the dual Master cylinder at normal supply
houses. A 67 Camaro Drum/Drum power brake cylinder is a direct replacement
with the proper valves for drum brakes. Disk master cylinders have no
valves to hold the fluid from going back into the resivoir.

Glenn - contact white post restorations, they offer a brake cylinder
sleeving service to the old car restoration hobby - I've used them for
work on my 51 dodge - you mail them the stuff, they sleeve it and send
it back -

there are other services that specialize in sleeving Corvette calipers
especially - quite a few of them can be found in Hemmings motor news -
I have not personally used any of those.

you are having rust problems because brake fluid is hydroscopic and
absorbs water. to avoid this, change your brake fluid every year, or
every other year. If you do this, you will have no corrosion and your
brake hydraulic stuff will last almost forever. Alternatively, if you
are careful, you can use DOT 5 fluid, which is hydrophobic, but you
have to be careful to not entrap air bubbles as you pour it into the
master cylinder. I have used DOT 5 in several cars, in some it leaked
out (because it does't cause seals to swell like the glycol fluid), in
others it was OK. your vette will probably be OK.

extensive tests have been done with DOT 5
