I did a bit of research on the LR part number 90569126 and could not find anything to say the series 2 used the .625 bore, and that includes looking at old part guides and cross reference stuff.

It was more of a case of I remember taking a master cylinder off of the Series 2 and it looked the same as a dolly and someone telling me that they were.

At lease we have cleared that one up!

Ah, sorry James, that was a rushed lunchtime post and I didn't make the point I really intended!

I was trying to that I'm a little confused by this, for one thing I doubt that a .625 bore with 7/16" master cylinder was unique to the Sprint but anyway, though I looked I could not find a definitive source that said what a series 2 LR master cylinder should be, only people selling replacements that could fit a Series 2 and 2a. Example is TRW who list PMD350 as a cross match for 90569126:

Even registered with TRW for a login but nothing states the outlet size, but it does state that the bore is 19.05mm, which is a 0.75" bore. So I tried going through Land Rovers from 1961 and all .75" so gave up on that. Checked other suppliers of the same part numbers and all state 3/8" outlet.

That only says to me that the aftermarket LR replacements might not have the right outlet size. As the slaves are usually still 7/16" does that sort of suggest that clutch master cylinders are now all just actually brake master cylinders?

I do wonder about using a new one with a 3/8 to 7/16" adaptor, as the point of 7/16" pipework is supposed to be less resistance and I've just introduced a reduced diameter. I know that the pressure does not alter on pipe diameter, but I'm of the understanding that a larger bore is used in clutch hydraulics due to the speed of clutch pedal travel and so fluid transfer causing a resistance and therefore dampener effect that would not be apparent in a brake circuit. Guess I'll find out when I fit mine, and I can always get it drilled and tapped to 7/16" if all else fails!

Stainless sleeved clutch master cylinders, the remote reservoir type, are now in stock. £87.50 each incl postage to UK address on exchange basis

Apologies for not checking this thread,before now.
The number I posted was the e bay item number NOT the part number,after further investigation,I am not so sure the seller hasnt just used a handy britpart box to put the cylinder in.
But I assure you its new,has 5/8 bore,and 2 x 7/16 UNF outlets,cost £39,plus post. E bay item no 311750566097 or Classic parts tel 01206230961.
