Newbie question

[bernhund]

Hello, normally I can be found having a natter on the Noble forum so this one is new to me. Have just bought myself a classic 1972 Landy 88 series 2a petrol. Knew it was gonna need a clutch master cylinder, so before I go and pay over the top, do any of you guys know where I can get a recon or new one from in Kent? I suspect I'm gonna need to know a reputable supplier of classic parts for the beastie. I'm assuming it goes with the territory!
Any help appreciated. Cheers.

Bearmach in Maidstone or Island 4x4 in Sheppey are worth a try.

I'll second Paddocks. The one for my 90 was only a few quid. I would advise buying an LRO or similar magazine - they are full of useful adverts.

Thanks fellas, will give those contacts a call.

there are different quality of parts availible the ones craddocks and paddocks often supply have a dubious history with the brand britpart not always being popular. Its often tracking down NOS parts or just generally better quality ones might cost more but worth it in the long run. With clutch and brake cylinders go for a girling as opposed to a cheaper copy the brake master cylinder on my 1974 series 3 failed last year but i susupect it was the original girling one a britpart replacement was ordered but the seals failed after a week and a griling on was ordered to replace it. These places are very good for parts
