What is the usual finish for hydraulic master cylinders internal bores.

Usually they are honed with a Sunnen hone. Usually the point is to
remove any striations or rings (lines going either along the length of
the cylinder or around the bore).


Well, yes, but a certain fine finish is desirable, and a mirror finish
is not.
