Wow! David just solved a problem I've been hung on for a long time.
Occasionally a someone finds a 3/4" bore master cylinder in their MGA,
probably came form a midget or such. It doesn't displace enough fluid,
so requires too long a pedal stroke. Often these M/C's are also in need
of rebuild, and also often pitted in the bores.
A very reasonable solution would be to bore them out from 3/4" to 7/8"
and repack them with the MGA M/C rebuild kit. But the hang up has always
been not being able to find the 7/8" pistons. David, do you suppose they
have any more?
Does anyone know of a source for new 7/8" pistons for the MGA master
cylinder?
