Hello,
i need your help. On my Sprint Federal i have the Girling Dual Brake Master Cylinder LHD, bore 0.7" (17,8 mm).
It seems nobody sell a new reproduction. Tony Tompson and Classic Team lotus (Ex Paul matty) sell a similar type but for RHD only.
Thank you for any help.

I am sure I have used the Triumph Spitfire dual circuit, sorry I can not find the number.
Born, and brought home from the hospital (no seat belt (wtf)) in a baby!
Find out where the limits are, and start from there

I've used a early spitfire on my +2, there also a shorter later one.
I suspect the brake line connections on the spitfire will be on the wrong side and tight to the inner arch. So might not fit.

There are a few others whom fit, they are all N American things like the 1969 Cortina GT Ford Corsair P/U.
If you are still stuck, I can turn on the old computer and find the file.

Physically looks exactly the same as Australian specification Mk 1 Escort with tandem circuit front drum brakes. Not sure about internal bore size - would have to check. LHD or RHD should make no difference - or is this assumption incorrect?
The same part described as being for a Ford is likely to be a lot cheaper and more readily available than one described as being for a Lotus!

LHD or RHD makes big difference on Elan! no space on left side for the pipes to connect to the cylinder. The master cylinder is very closed to the body.

I checked and Ford master cylinder is 0.75" bore so not suitable for Elan with 0.70" bore.
