Clutch slave cylinder ID help needed

[Michael Oritt]

I need to rebuild the clutch slave cylinder on the Elva. Though the transmission is MGA the cylinder is not--it is 7/8" bore as opposed to the MGA 1".

Attached find a photo showing the cylinder and parts.

The cylinder is 7/8" bore and is stamped "38UN".
There are no numbers on the small lip seal that I can read.
The outer boot says (in a circular pattern around the hole for the rod) "Girling/OW15-456/AR61/363616" (The "1's" may be "I's" as there are no seriphs.)

Now please look at the following site in the Moss Sprite catalogue: https://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=36484

Referencing the illustration, part number 35 is a 7/8" cylinder (repair kit number 36 goes to it)and looks similar to mine except for the bleeder configuration, but the original equipment cylinder is described as a Lockheed part.

Do those numbers make any sense to anyone and are Lockheed and Girling kits generally interchangeable?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Michael - I am by no means an expert, but I think that may be an XKE slave cylinder. Good luck, James

As long as the rubber parts are the correct diameter all will be good. Long ago we could not get kits and just bought generic seals for everything. Worked fine.

The auto parts house had a cabnet of all sizes.

Call off the hounds.

I found the cylinder on the Truchoice website described as part #GIR70-487U (for Universal). And Pegasus sells a rebuild kit for the cylinder (left, right and universal orientations) under part number 3521-.87.
