MGA master cylinder is 7/8" bore.

Should be the same as MG ZA/ZB Magnette.

I think it's the same as MGA, but not absolutely sure.

Spridget with 1098cc engine is 3/4" bore, but all other Spridgets are 
7/8" bore, same as MGA.  Similar master cylinder is used for many 
other cars of  the period, nearly identical in appearance but not all 
the same bore.  I do not have list of sizes of others.
