MG MGA - mga brake master cylinder

Just bought a new master cylinder for a 57 MGA from Moss Motors. Although the sales catalog specicly states that it is a Lockheed MC, the item received is actually TRW / Lucas. Anyone have any problems with these units?

Got one in my car and so far no problems. Gordon

I just bought the same 7/8" master cylinder for my 61 midget, and was equally surprised to find the Lucas name on it. Electric brakes? :-)

Felt a little more comfortable when I remembered that the companys name is Lucas-Girling. Then I discovered its probably made in Spain!

But why not? My everyday "French" Citroen is made in Spain, too, and it is an excellent car! Guess we just have to get used to the old brand names and companies moving around the world...

The replacement cylinder being marked "lucas" should not be a problem, as there are no wires going to it.
