The topic of rebuilding the pedal box, including replacing the master cylinders and all other aspects, has been discussed countless times. Currently I'm in the middle of going through two of them at the same time - one from a '79 and the other from a '85 (figured I'd get all of it out of the way at once). Before starting I looked through the forum for write-ups to review. But despite knowing there have been literally hundreds of things posted on it, I had a difficult time finding much. A lot of that is likely due to my "search" skills (or lack of). Also I think many of the discussions were buried within another thread topic or had titles that do not show from common search words. And much of it may have been general comments about how much it is a dreaded task rather than any type of "how to guide". So I thought I would try to bring together as much of the related useful material as possible in a single thread. A general reference point if you will.
The great new "Best Of" feature has this: https://xwebforums.com/forum/index.php?tags/box-pedal-box/
Looking at it you see it needs more added. So if nothing else maybe the references posted here can be added to that?
Even the "X1/9 Wiki" does not have anything for the master cylinders or the pedal box in general. So hopefully something can be added there as well.
Here are some of the threads I found:

Some of these threads include additional links to more threads. I should have copied them separately, but maybe someone else can add them to the list. I also know I found others but failed to save them, sorry. So please add whatever you can to help build a better reference source. Likewise, if any I linked are not appropriate then please say so and I will delete them (I might have copied some unintentionally).
Another thought. Perhaps one of the gurus on the Factory Workshop Manual knows how to link any useful material from it to this list.
