Hi all,
I'm going to buy a new master cylinder for my '83 xs400 Maxim project. I see many available on ebay from China which will fit the bill which I am able to get shipped to Canada.
However, what I can 't figure out is whether they all have the piston assembly already in or whether I'd have to get that separately and build it.
2 examples:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Front-Brake-...s&hash=item3a949e8122&vxp=mtr&_uhb=1#shpCntId
The titles (ex: 7/8" Front Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Lever) make it seem like it's only the shell. Some others I've seen seem to include a "extra" rebuild kit, so it's not clear whether that's need for it to work or not, but for a couple reasons I'm not looking at these ones. I've tried asking the sellers but the only answers I can get are more or less that "it's like in the photo", which tells me nothing at all. It seems crazy that it could be sent without the piston assembly, but you never really know!
Does anyone know if these are ready to go, or if I'd need to buy the rebuild kit as well?
Thanks a lot!
