Ok, lambaste away, but it CAME with it! And works fine ... but it needs a new gasket ...

I have a Ford brake M/C and booster on my SIII (74, LHD, 88).

Problem is, Ford made 2 that look (as far as I can tell) exactly alike, but are different sizes. No auto parts place I've found so far carries the correct size (mine is the smaller of the two - everyone carries the larger) and without an application I get the old Autozone Blank Stare. I've even been to a "brake specialist," who was also surprisingly clueless. I'm pretty sure it's something like a '74 LTD 6 cyl., but since I'd have to order it I wouldn't know til it came in, if I was even close.

Any ideas?

M/C looks like this:http://www.collectorcarsforsale.com/parts/parts-images-large/1972-ford-country-custom-galaxie-brake-master-cylinder_160484324996.jpg
