Interesting information. I have to rebuild my master cylinder for the '62
MGA too. It's been sitting for a couple of years, and all the rubber has
deteriorated, with hydraulic fluid leaking. I saw one ad where it said
the master cylinder for a midget can be used for the 'A too. Is this
true? It was rebuilt once before about a decade ago, the bores, honed,
and everything.
