There is a company that will put you a stainless sleeve in them, it's on here somewhere, I just replace the fluid regularly and renew the cylinders when necessary it's a simple enough job and the cylinders are cheap too.

Past Parts will refurbish old brake cylinders with stainless sleeves. I did get a quote from them but it seemed fearfully expensive to me. In the end, I decided just to use some red brake grease to keep the corrosion at bay. Edit - I've just looked up the quote and actually it was £60 + VAT + shipping which I guess isn't too bad in retrospect. Problem is that you can get brand new ones off eBay for nearer to £10 all in.

Ok might just stick with the standard.
Many thanks

Past Parts as per Andy's link above are very good & turn work around in sensible timescales, excellent for brake components that are no longer available
