got this-  it was used in conjunction with a marina pedal box to fit a fiat twin cam into a minor. (fiat is cable clutch as standard, as is minor.). i assumed it would be a marina one, but its not. would be be correct in thinking its early mini? its the only thing i can think of that takes a 'sided' cyl like this, they were pretty unusual back then. it has a part no- 9568 3C(or G) Q850, but i cant find anything with that part no. to confirm? oh, and its 15/16" bore, which I'm worried might be too large so was thinking of adapting to the lada one. |

I've seen something looking just like that listed as an Austin Healey Sprite slave cylinder. The mini one has the bleed on the end and the feed on the side.

I think MGBs use something similar - might not be quite the same though, and is in alloy IIRC. The MG ones certainly have a large bore.

theres no reason you cant swap the bleed and feed over though(providing the bleed stays at the top), they're just two ports into the cyl.
it appears ot be part of an off the shelf kit, as all the brackets are pretty well finished, and then plated. so i think theyd have used something common, easy to obtain, and cheap, hence me thinking mini.
i was worried that the ratio would be all wrong with the lada pedal, but it seems that both marina and lage master cyls are 3/4" bore. the pever point of the cyl has been moved down the clutch arm on the fiat 132 box though, so the cyl would need more force but less travel, so 13/16" appears as though it could be right, oppsed to the 3/4" slave on the lada salve, which aprrears to work further along the arm.
