MG TD TF 1500 - Rear brake cylinder measurement

I need to know the size of the rear brake cylinder, that is the length of the cylinder.

The bore or the outside casting?

Hi LaVerne, the outside physical length.

Is this good enough Donald or do you need something more precise?


LaVerne

Thanks LaVerne, methinks I have an odd rear brake system. Can you please measure the 'slot' the cylinder fits in. Mine is 1"5/16th X 3/4". The cylinder as you show is a lot larger. Oh dear!!

Slides in like this. Lever must be raised to clear opening slot.

Thanks LaVerne, of course I meante 2 5/16".
I had to order new cylinders and was worried that I might have had MGA brakes on the rear, then I found out they both have the same rear cylinders. Thanks once again for you responses.
