Did you measure the pushrod in your master cylinder?

Yea it's around 70mm.
My local car shop is thinking theres 2 different slave cylinders

There are more than two slave cylinders....

They must go with the right bracket....

This is the housing fitted to the gearbox if that narrows it down ?

This looks like an adaptor ring, according to the sprint workshop manual (33.35.07), the slave cylinder has a built in flange, so your flange is made to use another slave cylinder of similar performance, but bore sizes, travel and master cylinders need to be matched for fluid displacement.

That slave cylinder only does the 1850 and sprint,
My car is a 1979 1500hl, the slve cylinder on mine pushes into that bracket and is secured with a pinch / lock bolt .

Apologies, I forgot we were talking about a 1500HL, I had sprint at the back of my mind.

Indeed and those brackets and slaves are not all the same...

But they all have the pinch bolt and groove so look interchangeable, but they arent.

The Volvo 140/240 series have a similar design too, which may well lead to some eroneous mixing and matching.
When you add Spits and heralds into the mix and the dolly 1300 and 1500 with different clutch plates its a nightmare...

Jonners

Don't know if this will help but some suppliers use a Land Rover Series slave cylinder for Dolomites. Presumably the pushrods could be different.

Again for 1850's but the unions are the wrong size...

Jonners

Does anyone know the difference between these cylinders ?
i.e bore sizes ,length ?
