MGB: Master cylinder failed in Aus

On our last Rally the primary cup of the brake master cylinder died. As can bee seen in pics below. My question is - where can i get a seal kit in Aus reasonably priced and does anyone have a part number? Also, is it the same kit as an MGA 1500? It has already been sleeved so all I need are the seals and we're good to go.

If the sleeve has the original dimension then the MGA kit will fit. I ordered from Scarborough Faire in the US.

John,
Give Bruce Smith at Sportsparts a ring - he'll probably have it in the post to you by tonight.

Heritage MG also carry the seal kits.

Given the bore size your local brake suppliers could likely make up a kit from stock seals.

It looks like the rubber cup scored over time. Is the fill port drilling free of any burrs or roughness where it passes into the bore? What every scored that cup will likely do the same thing again to the new one. Regards, Ed

Thank you all for your input. I've souced a seal kit from Automotive Surplus (http://www.autosurplus.com.au/) for AUS$15! One place I tried wanted AUS$45!!! Perserverance pays off! Thanks for the tip Ed, I will check that thoroughly before reassembly.
