My suggestion would be to take some lacquer thinner (or some sort of paint solvent) and remove the red paint from the spindle pin journal, where the grease seal will be riding.
That paint stands a good chance of ruining the lip of the seal when it starts spinning on that paint.
After the paint is removed, it would be a good idea to lightly polish that seal journal with some emery cloth.
At the time I did this (2004), it was my first useage of installing a modern MC in an early Ford application --1999-2004 1.00" bore SN95 V6 Mustang MC, (mounted to an '87-'93 2.3L Fox Mustang booster), in a '65 Mustang fastback. At that time, I didn't have any direct connection brake line fittings to go straight from the hard lines and into the metric MC ports, without using adapters in between. This was also back when I used to use manually-adjustable proportioning valves.
Adapters don't give a professional look and they add another connection point in the system for a potential leak to occur.
However, the 3/16"-24 to 10mm x 1.0 fitting adapter is Edelman p/n 271300. The 3/16"-24 to 12mm x 1.0 adapter is Edelman p/n 265000.
Later on, I discovered I could get the correct (new) SAE inverted flare and ISO metric bubble flare fittings through Classic Tube, as well as the spiral wrap/armour guard/gravel guard to go over the hard line tubing.
The M10 x 1.0 bubble flare fitting is Classic Tube p/n ST8036.
The M12 x 1.0 bubble flare fitting is p/n ST8040.
The 7/16"-24 inverted flare fittings are p/n ST8006.
The 1/2"-20 inverted flare fittings are p/n ST8007.
The 9/16"-18 inverted flare fittings are p/n ST8010.
The Spiral Wrap/Armour Guard/Gravel Guard (in OE coated steel) is p/n AG1435OE.
For more money, the above fittings and the spiral wrap can be purchased in stainless steel as well.
Hey Steve, where did you buy these parts? Which supplier?
TIT Emory clothed the powder coat off of the seal collar, packed new bearing and installed the rotors.

Thanks for you help Ultra! What flaring tool do you use. It seems as if I'm buried in this one to my neck.
From 1984 to 2009, I just had an Imperial-Gould manual flaring bar and double flare buttons. --somehow, the yoke for the flaring bar didn't make it into this picture but, you get the idea.
In 2009, I got a Mastercool hydraulic flaring set (p/n 71475). Naturally, I haven't used my manual flaring bar in a long time.
The MC port closest to the radiator goes to the rear brakes. The MC port closest to the booster/firewall goes to the front brakes.
Makes sense. Beacause I don't know, is this indicated on the new master Cylinder? Not that I disbelieve you but for someone else that follows will have the information.

All of the Ford MCs I've ever delt with (and they are quite a few), all primary ports are closest to the firewall.
In the case of someone using an aftermarket booster with a reproduction Corvette MC (which is what most aftermarket boosters come with), they are assbackwards. The primary port on them is closest to the radiator.
