Looking for a clutch master cylinder to replace one that failed recently.

The cylinder should look like this

and NOT like this

Is this the supplier? Picture shows correct cylinder.
> TRIUMPH TR3 TR3a TR3b Brake / Clutch Master Cylinder (From 1957- 62) | eBay <

I think I have a used one but there are several bore sizes. Will see if I can find it and measure the bore.

By the way, the adapter fitting on the new repros comes out and the pipe goes right in without it or at least it did on the one I replaced several years ago. You can't do much about the reinforcing tab cast into the housing.

This might be what I was thinking of. Probably of no use to you as it has the reinforcing fin. It is also 7/8 bore, which is incorrect for the TR3.
