Hi al. IAM about to fix the brakes on my s2a 109 Diesel from 1971. I bought a new brake master cylinder, clutch cylinder and slave cylinder. Its looks like I've got another type?
The model I bought from
Paddock suppose to be OEM and called PMD350.


Can I use it or shall I order a new one ? Isn't that case which one should I buy?

The new brake master cylinder you have been given is for a SWB model and is not suitable for LWB.
What's in your other box? Is your supplied clutch cylinder identical?

The part number on the TRW box is indeed for a SWB, 90569126G

For the 109" I think you need 90569128

They don't seem to list a TRW "Genuine" equivalent for that.

What I do when replacing hydraulics where high quality parts are unavailable, is buy the Britpart aftermarket master and slave cylinders and replace all of the seals with TRW branded repair kits. Then,  at least the important components are reliable.
The kits are be found online.

I have some TRW part numbers associated with brake parts.

No the red box is just what the cylinder came in. The clutch master cylinder is like this one.

My s2a 88 petrol from 67 has the bigger one meanwhile my s2a 88 diesel from 71 has the smaller one... so it's not for to mutch help...

Did you order the correct part for a 109" or have you been sent the wrong part? What did you order?
