OK, let's try this again.
What exactly is the condition of the sight glass port in the OEM one that you are trying to rebuild?
Let me guess: You got the clouded sight glass out but broke it in the process ??......because it was GLUED in and wasn't intended to ever come out, maybe ?? :roll:
My second guess is that the little sight glass is not available by itself anywhere in the world except in the factory in Japan where they are built.
My third guess is that you are never gonna have it right unless and until you bite the bullet and get a whole new OEM master cylinder.
My fourth guess is that if you elect to try and "create" something yourself to cover that hole, be it transparent or not, you will end up contaminating the whole system and have to rebuild or replace the piston on the lower end too.
Sometimes cheap solutions can get VERY expensive.
The way I see it, your only hope short of a new one is to find a junk yard nearby that is tied into the national network and get a used one. That is also a gamble.
Good luck!
Hope somebody else has some better ideas.
