When I bought the Lockheed seal kits for my Firenza, they just came as generic 3/4" wheel cylinder seal kits. I think for a given diameter they're pretty universal. I have an idea the OHV cars are a smaller diameter though.

Your car is an early Viva HC, so it has "manual" adjustable rear brakes. The early "aftermarket" Lockheed cylinders (Moprod) are part number MWC 143 (L/H) & MWC 144 (R/H) Late cars have Self adjusting brakes and the cylinders are MWC 145 (L/H) & MWC146 (R/H) These cylinders are not interchangable - early to late & vice versa etc, nor side to side....as they are handed. I have lots of the early rear cylinders in stock. Adrian
