K12lt rear master cylinder

Well my rear master cylinder is leaking. After checking all sources I do see new ones or rebuild kits are not available anymore. I have bought the only used on I could find on line and it is due here on Monday. Has any one come up with an alternative?
 
They do not and say they can't get them anymore. Evidently the after market cylinders and rebuild kits were produced by Magura and BMW has lawsuit against them.
 
Planned and forced obsolescence.
With a special twist- “We’re not going to make this part available anymore and will sue any company that tries a repro.”

I’d suggest the OP look through the thread links at the bottom of this thread, searching for the names of aftermarket companies that resleeve and rebuild MC master cylinders. They might be able to resleeve the OP’s master cylinder and rebuild it with parts (seals, etc) they source on their own. Worth looking into, anyway.

EDIT: Possible sources of help:

Best,
DeVern
