My TR3A is very original, but in 1962 when i replaced my MC with one from
Leyland (remember them ?) they said this was the new one for later TR3A's
which superceded the type I had originally.  So 2 years ago, I bought a
"correct MC" and mailed it to Apple.  They re-sleeved it, but didn't hone it
out to the right diameter.  Good thing my neighbor has access to all these
tools and I now have a working clutch master cylinder.  Too bad Apple didn't
hone it out. Why they didn't I'll never know - Buyer Beware !!!
