Nope ... not an MGA slave cylinder ... similar, but the
hose connection point isn't the same.
FYI, the 'pushrod' MGA slave cylinder was carried over
to the MGB ... the 'twinkie' MGA slave cylinder is also
found on the 'big' Healy's.
So ... if you have a spare MGB slave cylinder laying
around ... suggest that you compare its internals with
the Magnette ... you might find that they share a
common rebuild kit (and just have a different connection
point for the hose - end verus side load).
