[ROVERNET - UK] SD1 Rear Brake Cylinder Kit

[Slatskars]

Vic,

Take your old parts to a good auto parts shop and have them try to match up 
the bits with another kit. Had a friend years ago on an MG outing have a 
brake problem. He did this and wound up with a Mazda clutch kit to fix the 
MG brake cylinder. Worth a try. Some parts guys are really very good.
