Someone has a problem with different length pipe and/or different 
flares.  All MGA (except Twin Cam) and all MGB use the same clutch 
pipe, clutch hose, and clutch slave cylinder and slave 
pushrod.  There was only one pipe length (but shorter for RHD) and 
only one flare type, never changed.

Some early production MGA had different slave cylinder with side 
input port and a banjo fitting, but the later cylinder can be 
installed and delete the banjo fitting.
