The MGA master is the same as the later 'double' master that was fitted to
the first 1098 (?). New cast 3/4 inch bore ones were £213 ($350 ish) at the
local brake shop, compared to £80 for this one. I think the phrase is " WE
TIGHT!" I bored out a 3/4 one on the lathe but couldn't get a fine enough
finish to get a set of 7/8 pistons/seals to work. Screwing around with
brake parts is fun until the inevitable incident occurs. I have fitted 12
inch drums to my Morris 8/MG P-type special and am near to finishing the
twin-leading-shoe set-up. Should be good when it is finished!
