Brake fluid will eat car paint, that's been determined.

Wear gloves! Brake fluid will penetrate your skin and enter your blood stream, its not good.

I have an 87 XJ6 Jag. Will a master brake cylinder from an 85 XJ6 work for my vehicle?

@generatrix999 Brake fluid takes quite some time to absorb through your skin into the blood, at least a few hours. Brake fluid has similar chemicals (Nitrobenzine) and carcinogens as antifreeze (Propylene Glycol,) and many cleaning products, even shampoo/soaps (that contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, all are the same basic chemicals derived from Formaldehyde....everything is dangerous if overexposed.

Everyone who has ever drank water has died.

This job cost $350 at the dealer...but under $50 DIY...save lots of money :)

Oh, and  finally bleed the entire brake system after you're all done!

First, you need to remove as much fluid from the reservoir as possible and disconnect the fluid level sensor if the car has one...THEN you disconnect the brake lines. Once you remove the master cylinder, you drain the remaining fluid in a suitable container.You also got to take out the reservoir from the old cylinder and slap it on the new one.  Also, you need to use a torque wrench when mounting the new master cylinder to the firewall and tighten the fasteners to that car's torque specs.
