If the car is a Hawk/Transformer then the relevant Master Cylinder is from a 1600 Fiat 131. It may be easier and faster to source a complete master cylinder from Halfords or you could try asking for Phil or Franco at Ricambio International Ltd on 02086428577 or 01737359842 or website www.ricambio.co.uk
They state "at silly prices if in stock for old models 131-132-128-127-Strada" so it's worth a call!

That sounds like a particularly good idea, suggested by Guy.

If you simply replace the entire master cylinder you not only avoid the potential problem of getting the wrong seals, but should have a better (newer) component in its entirety.

What's the bore size of a 1600 131 tandem master cylinder?

I've read that the 124 is 19mm (.75?)

Fiat 131 M/C 0.75” 19mm

Thanks Chris.

So a tandem .75", is just the same as a bias bar with two .75" cylinders, with the bias bit locked up, or set dead 50/50?

That seems to be the case according to Colin
