Thanks for this link.  My 3-litre Volvo had a dual-circuit master
cylinder - a huge thing that restricted the pedal rack adjustment
because it was up against the front of the pedal box.  This was a bit of
a problem, as I am 6' 0", and the lack of adjustment meant that my knees
were pressed up against the bottom of the dashboard.  Paul Dransfield's
car has the Girling master cylinder, and he has plenty of room for
adjustment, so I ordered one from Merlin.  Installed the Girling in
place of the dual-circuit master cylinder last week, and it makes a
world of difference.  I can now adjust the pedal rack right out to the
end of the screw drive.  No more bruised kneecaps for me!

Mick,

I have a 1971 with Essex V6 and it has the Girling large reservoir
master cylinder but the number reads CC4A .  It's a 3/4" bore.

www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk <http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk>  has what
you're looking for I think.  Try this link:
