Brake master cylinder

[crazy viva lady]

Hi there folks!

Can anyone tell me if a MGB tandem brake master cylinder (lockheed) is the same as an HC one?

I brought one off ebay and it seems to be fine

speaking of master cylinders, had to hammer the cap off my HA one tonight, seemed it was super glued on or summin??? anyways its off but buggered, so I am after a new cap

I tried all sorts to move it, with no avail, so it was Mr (MC) Hammer and screwdriver through the lid and rip it off (yes thats the only way I could get it off!).

As I work all day long and dont get home till after most shops shut, I cannot do a thing until the weekend, but if some saddo has a spare lid hanging around , I keen Its a non servo 1963 car, Girling brake master cylinder.

Got me a new cap, got it off a scrapped mini round at the local mini specalists... Its a Lockhead cap but fits fine. so thats another item ticked off the list towards an MOT for the HA.
