I can. The Girling Clutch Master Cylinder of the 1972 GT-6 has the same 
part number (cast into the side no less) as that of the 1977 TR-7. But the
1977 TR-7 is Metric, and the GT-6 (which is the same as the 1969-76 TR-6 BTW)
is SAE.

I was most unhappy to discover this one afternoon...And the exit port of
the Cyl is *the only difference* between the two. The remainder of the parts
are the same.
