Nope, all single line brake ones were .70" (except 850 and 998 Cooper). Some Clubbies? had a 0.70" clutch one but they are effing useless once you get a bit of wear in the linkage. If you have one on a car now I'd bin it and fit a 0.75" one. |

Thanks Kev. I do have them set up correct then! Just checking. Some websites say otherwise when it comes to aussie plastic reservoir s. Cheers. |

http://www.classicmotoring.net.au/cmos/ ... inder.html Australian Minis from around 1969 to 1976 were fitted with plastic tank master cylinders, made by either Lockheed or Girlock. Lockheed master cylinders have a cast iron body and the Girlock master cylinders have an alloy body, but are otherwise the same. In contrast to the tin tank master cylinders, plastic tank master cylinders are 0.75" bore diameter for the brake, and 0.7" for the clutch. This style of master cylinder is no longer available new. |

That information is wrong. The bore sizes are arse about. For evidence, ALL Cooper 1275S had a .70" bore brake MC. |
