If I remember correctly the only difference between the 19 mm drum and brake MCs is that the drum MC has a bottom valve that keeps a little pressure in the system all the time. The disc MC has another bottom valve that releases the pressure completely from the system. If this is correct (as usual I have my mauals at my parents house) you could use the bottom valve from your old MC and transfer it into the new MC. The manual also talks about two different brands of MCs, I guess ATE and FAG, and tells the mechanic NOT to switch internal parts between these two brands. This could be something to keep in mind. >3. Should I disassemble and lubricate the NOS master cylinder with brake >fluid before installation?

The first times I pressed the brake the pedal felt much harder than usual. This was probably not too good for the old rubber parts in the MC. The MC has been working good since then, though.
