Does anyone know where I might get a replacement clutch master cylinder?

Re: Clutch Master Cylinder
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.

Re: Clutch Master Cylinder
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?

Re: Clutch Master Cylinder
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
Blue Print Clutch Master Cylinder ADT 33431
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.

Re: Clutch Master Cylinder
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.
