Hi - I am new to this site and hoping someone out there can help - I am a volunteer with Avro Vulcan XM655 at Wellesbourne, Warwickshire, and am currently restoring a standardised airfield bomb transporter (SABT).   It was discover in a boat yard where it was used as a boat trailer, a major problem is that the brake master cylinder is very badly corroded.  I am trying to find out a part number/manufacturer to search for a replacement. 

As it was attached to a Lockheed trailer over-run/hand brake  mechanism I am assuming it is a Lockheed unit, but on-line searches have not successful.  One supplier of vintage master cylinders suggests it may be a unique military design as he has not seen this type before.   It has an 1-1/2"  bore, three hole mounting flange and a single outlet.  The main difference to most designs is that the piston has a solid  extension that interfaces with the over-run assembly, instead of a pushrod.  Any help identifying it or pointing me in the direction of of a spare (even a non-working sample) would be greatly appreciated
