MG TD TF 1500 - TD Master Cylinder kit

I've removed my master cylinder as part of a complete brake rehab. From the info on the Moss website, I see that it is what Moss refer to as a "Type 2" replacement cylinder -- Lockheed, as supplied from about 1995 to about 2003. They have no kits available for this master cylinder. They only supply kits for original cylinders and post-2003.

Does anyone have a source for these kits? The bore of the cylinder looks good overall, but it could benefit from a kiss from a hone and new seals. Otherwise, it's fine.

For reference, here are the three types:

Rob,

Our local supplier of British car parts Chris Hollum has some of the original MC brake kits in stock. What you need is the Lockheed LK15806 MC repair kit.

I just bought a few from him for my inventory.

Chris is in Montréal - 514 639-4639 christianhollum@bellnet.ca

Thanks, all!

I have a NAPA near my work so I'll see what they've got. I had planned to swing by there to get some cups for the wheel cylinders anyway, so I check the MC seals at the same time.

Gordon, when you say "Chris Hollum has some of the original MC brake kits in stock," are you referring to what Moss are calling the "Type 1" seals (cf. the pdf I linked to above)? Mine is the "Type 2" so the "original" style won't work....

Cheers!
