Hi, Lee, Janet, great to see you in my rear view mirror on the M1 the other day! Would've been a boring Marina free journey home otherwise. Did you pass the lovely FB series Victor on your way? Glad you got back OK anyhow. Possibly see you at Peterborough?

If its a Giring one it should be a GMC525 with the fixings side by side rather than above and below.
Rimmer Brothers list it as discontinued but try Powertrack brakes. They may not have an exact match but may be able to suggest a replacement with a different bore.

They do appear on eBay but I would be cautious if they are NOS as the seals may be perished with age.
The expensive option is earlpart.

Speedy spares do them for about Â£40 I think.

If any one has any old brake master cylinders to donate, I'll see about getting some reconditioned with a stainless steel sleeve like the clutch slaves. They would have to be complete with pistons and springs though. I have two, if we could make it 5 then I could get them done in a batch.

Just sent off a batch of 10 old clutch slaves for reconditioning. I have one of the first batch left at the moment, plus some NOS ones that are a little cheaper.

I also have two Marina clutch master cylinders resleeved, but no innards, so I need old M/Cs complete with pistons and springs etc in exchange and I use the old piston and spring and all new seal kits, which is the same as the reconditioners do.

From an antipodean perspective.
The stainless sleeving process results in a device that is superior to the original for long term service.
The stainless is far more durable than the original cast bore.
In future it should only be a matter of replacing seals rather than the entire unit.

Of course - flushing fluid regularly is a good way to prolong your systems life.
