Which MC for 4Runner Calipers ?

Really a 2-part problem:

1- Which Master Cylinder for 4Runner Calipers?

I see some MC's for T100, pickup, etc., have a Brake Fluid level sensor, some don't. Anyone know if the sensor (like in this LINK ) will work with the stock FJ60 ? Are those 1" bore?

The one Marlin Crawler lists LINK does not seem to have the sensor.

2- I put some 4Runner calipers on and am having a lot of trouble bleeding the brakes. Don't know what is going on. I've gone through a couple of big bottles, now, and the pedal still goes to the floor. First pedal press is stiff, but goes to the floor, then much softer after that.

When I bleed the brakes (starting at the RR), there isn't much of a stream being pushed out the bleeder, just a weak spurt, and some air. Everything seems to be working. No Leaks. I even bled the Stock MC again and still no change. Stock is good, but I'm thinking a larger-bore MC might help?

Any suggestions?
