That was my thinking but the pipe spacing looks different and from what I understand the 6096 has different size threads for front and rear pipes and I'm not sure mine has.

I've got a nasty feeling I'm going to order the wrong thing and end up without transport and that's seriously not a good option atm

in which case try 90577520, res does look to be secured by 2 screws at bottom

That's the chappy thanks James.

Looks like there's 2 variants. One military with a parallel reservoir and a 109 >1980 civvy with sloping reservoir.

Not overly chuffed

Thought I had a Bearmach on order but just noticed I had an email yesterday saying they don't have any in stock and Bearmach have no plans to restock.

Looking around the net the choice is Britpart or genuine, genuine would be nice but not at 335 quid

Pondering whether it'd be better to go for Britpart seals and refurb my genuine cylinder or whether my chances are better with a complete, assembled unit.

it will be under guarrantee so you could exchange it if it was poor, i know not ideal but those are the choices i face most days

Yep, no issues.....not with the master cylinder anyway

Brilliant thanks

Looks very similar the item used on a RR around 1987MY and which Ford used in their cars in 1976.
