Mike,
Rimmers (who generally use original Triumph part numbers) list the clutch
master cylinder for all Spits as part no. GMC205. The brake master cylinder
for all except dual-line systems is GMC224.
The pictures for these two look very similar, although the clutch M/C
reservoir looks like it's only at about 60deg to the cylinder, while the
brake M/C reservoir looks more like 90deg. Could just be the way it's
drawn, however.
In addition, I have a 1500 with single line braking (one of the last), and
my brake M/C looks noticeably different to that shown in the picture - the
reservoir is much bigger, and is plastic with a plastic lid, while the
clutch M/C has a metal reservoir that is solid with the cylinder.
Therefore it is clear that even Rimmers aren't showing the full story.
Nevertheless, it seems that the brake and clutch M/Cs are not the same part
originally (although that doesn't necessarily mean you couldn't use one for
the other at a push, but I'd rather not try it!).
