Thanks for that. Google search led me to Amazon & a shop called “blue print” £32.00 ! And it looks identical to SJ’s. It arrived today & the casting looks like the original, similar markings. A Result.

Does anyone think this cheap ebay clutch master purchase would be a mistake?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174929463100 ... SwAv9hOKyY

I need one soonest, and although I dont mind having to pay for quality, if this ebay item is 'the same as', then why pay £90 to £120+ when £30 does it?

Slighly suspicious of the black paint on the body?

Any views on this chaps, chapesses, others, etc?

The Toyota Celina one is no longer available.
As for the Ebay one and many others the Studs are not at 12 O'clock and 6 O'clock.

The correct one I fitted to one of my 1990se in 5/9/22 was from.

Car Parts In Motion. PM108908

The only thing I found with it was the Top Stud was a little long to get the Ratchet Spanner off the Nut so cut a bit off.
Also I found it a lot easier and quicker to get in and see what I was doing by removing the Seat.
Hopes this helps.

It might be useful if Admin put this into the "Alternative Parts" list.

Thanks for that! Saved a big mistake there. The set-back for the mounting bracket isn't deep enough either.

Here's an image the correct one for reference:


Parts in Motion doesn'r list it at the moment.
I found it on Amazon for £90 inclusive of next day delivery.

Problem is, not for want of trying, I couln't get out of the PRIME free trial at checkout ...the "no Thanks" option is cynically non-responsive. Sharp-practice, or what ? !

Now I'll have to remember to cancel Prime soonest. I got caught out with this a few years ago - paying for prime monthy for two years without using it as I didn't realise I'd subcribed.

Now then ... TWO suppliers let me down. All of those listed in previous posts had no stock. One month wasted, and two refunds later (£90 for the 1st one , £128 for the second), I took a punt on a JAPANPARTS Toyota Carina item (eBay ) with a bad photo that looked promising, and it was relatively cheap at £57 inc.

Had to tap the lower boss hole for M10 and jobs a gudun! Swapped the control arm over for the OE as in photo below:


Reason for new MC is pitted bore = leaks. Leaks that ejaculated streams of clutch fluid over the relays. All sorts of electric issues with contaminated relays below the MC: starter drop out relay = no crank; Fans relay = no fans; interior light delay relay; hazard relay; all causing intermittent faults. No wonder given the open nature of the relay housing (below):


So I've made a cover out of ABS plastic sheet. Easy to do.



RESULT! That's much better.


Also worth noting that the clutch MC bulkhead gasket does not seal well. Could see daylight through mine so I applied plumbers BOSS WHITE to the gasket and it's definitely water tight now.
