If this is the "Sunbeam Alpine rear wheel cyl.", then the Vicky Brit part
number appears to be 7-946. The other label on the box says "Made in EEC
Italy WC4983" and the box is labelled "BRAKE engineering".
But I think this one is a 7/8" (.875) bore, not .75 - I can't recall and I
can't pull the wheel cyls. to check. It does, however, result in a nice
shift of the brake balance to the rear. Highly recommended. If I got the
bore wrong, then the .875" bore is from a Morgan. I forget.
The one difference in this installation is that the bleeder is metric, so
you need a 10mm wrench to bleed the rears. Other than that, it's a "slip
in fit".
There are Triumph specialty shops that sell this "upgrade", but I bought a
pair from Vicky Brit about 4 years ago.
