can anyone id this brake cylinder..?

old school hydraulic conversion on oe front disc.
done in the 90s at least, if not before.
It is leaking, I can probably get a new seal, but not sure if bore is too worn...
So, ideally a new replacement of the same...
[otherwise could enlarge cylinder bore and have another piston made..?]
don't think it's an MB one, Taffspeed maybe...?
thanks

Not A DJ Webster one, does look like my mates and that is a taffspeed one, try contacting Ian Frankland.

yep, good idea, will do that.

Dug out a few more pics of the Taffspeed one with the mini piston

excellent, thanks again Ross.
that is different, two seals then...
and the thread pitch looks finer than the one I have in.

It's always possible they made different versions, but Ian F ID'd that one and told me what the piston and seals were from.

The outer seal is more of a dust cover than a seal proper.

Chiselspeed seems to be the consensus.
thanks for replies

or not, but they can bore it out and fit one of their pistons, so that likely to be the way forward.
