Hi "FNG",

I appreciate you joining the forum. Before you arrived I was the FNG. Thanks again :)

Welcome to my world! I bought a Patrol about 4 months ago. I did not know the brakes were gone until it was delivered to my house. I thought it only had an electrical issue. The pedal went to the floor and I could see there was oil residue leaking from the drivers rear wheel.
I can help you sleep easier at night...you will not find a master cylinder. Rebuild kits have been wrong and not compatible. You can try NAPA part UP387 for rebuilding. Might work

Go with River Patrols suggestion and install the Wilwood dual master. Its 200 bucks. All you will have to do is install an addition line.
The stock setup feeds all 6 wheel cylinders (4 front, 2 rear). If you lose one you are out of brakes. You will save a lot of time changing to the Wilwood!
I chose to keep it stock and it's gonna cost 240 to have my master resleeved/rebuilt (whitepost.com) and I will still be running on 1 line.

Call anytime I can talk your ear off :)
