Thanks Mike, you could be on the money there. The masters were full to the top but Im not sure it would explain the peddle fading when the brakes are applied. I added Hydraulic oil from the bleed point at the brake assembly until it came through the vent hole in the master cylinder. I then replaced the vent plug. When applying pressure on the brake peddle the starboard cylinder faded after several pumps. That seemed to set off a series of failures with 2 of the other master cylinders. Oil is coming up through the hole the peddle shaft runs through but there is no seal in this area to prevent that occurring. I have replaced the seals with metric ones and visually there appears to be no difference although Im sure a micrometer would tell another story. I feel this is where the problem is, hence the possible need for the original overhaul kit.

Regards
Graeme

Graeme, this would be a good email to send direct to Matco support for their take on it. They can also help you with determining which kit to order. The kits are cheap.
