So i would fit a new master not a seal kit.
I thought the seal might have flipped so went out and pulled it apart and they were ok, little bit of wear on the furthest forward piston though.

No, with the position of the calliper the bleed nipple is between 8 & 9 o'clock with the hand brake cable coming over the top. should the cable be underneath then. Didn't even think of that as I had the callipers labelled left and right from the car I took them off.

If you've put larger calipers on front and changed to discs on the rear,
Your possibly needing a larger master to displace more fluid
I had rear discs and 4 pots on my old XR2 Turbo and ran a standard master and servo for a while, was ok but ended up fitting a Mondeo unit.
