Requires some slight modification to the master and mounting points.
Bought the master off ebay for about $25.

would this work? |
I'd take the master cylinder apart, first and see what's what with the inlet, "reservoir hole".
The piston should move in against a spring and out on it's own. If it doesn't, the spring may be broken or missing. When the piston is all the way out against the stop (c-clip maybe) you should be able to see the tiny hole open up.
If not, they may have misdrilled the hole at the factory. In that case, the unit is useless.
If the piston doesn't return to that "stop" when the brake is reseased, the brakes will never work correctly. IOW, there
cannot be any pressure applied to the piston when the foot is off the brake pedal.
If the linkage is correctly adjusted, you should need to move the brake pedal a little before the piston even starts to move. This is to make sure that the brake hydraulic pressure always gets released when the brake pedal is at rest.
