Ok, so a auto shop calls me in a panic,
"you do MG's, right?" he ask, Yeah MGB's that is.
"What about Magnette's cuz I got me a real problem
here. I have had this Magnette sitting here for
6 months, and now I am down to the nut on it and can't seem to find a good part here. I need a combination clutch/brake cylinder. It has 1 reservoir and 2 pistons/levers coming out of the bottem of it. I have got 3 bad ones from Scarborough Fair, so I don't trust them anymore, can you help me?"
I asked if he inspected the original and to see if it was rebuildable (pitting on the inside of the cylinder/sleve's. Found one at Kip's, cost $949 vs rebuild kit on Ebay for $49.
Any suggestions? Anybody else carry these parts? Not Moss or Victoria British.

Are they same as MGA's? Still expensive if I recall but it may broaden the search parameters.
