Speedometer and master brake cylinder-two questions.

Hi Folks, Two puzzlers - First about two months ago my speedometer stopped working but the odometer continued to function. Replaced the sensor but no results with the speedo - odometer continued to work. Yesterday the odometer went dead. Any ideas? Second question - When I purchased the car two years ago the dealer never disclosed to me that the master cylinder had a small leak - after I discovered it I found that by adding a small amount of fluid periodically the brakes work fine. The cost to replace it wit a RECONDITIONED unit seems too expensive and quite frankly I'm not sure the dealership could do the job correctly. My question is = How easy would it be to replace the unit with a Lebaron cylinder realizing I would probably lose the anti-lock feature? My local mechanic says he could do it. Any suggestions?

Contact me, I'll send you a blow by blow description, with pictures, on how to make the conversion.
