"with the introduction of the 1098 in 1962, improvements were made to the brakes. 8 inch front drums, reduction of internal diameter rear wheel cylinders (from 7/8 to 13/16) and master cylinder (from 7/8 to 3/4)
Lookheed part no for master cylinder are 88702 for earlier minors and 4225-453 for 1098 cars (from OMM)" - 57 Morris on the Aus forum
