Have a look at the Moss or Victoria British Spit catalogues on-line. There
are two dual line masters that come to mind, known as the small-cap or
large-cap, referring to the size of the cap on the plastic reservoirs. I
_think_ they changed to the small mouth in 76. Aside from the caps on the
reservoirs, the small-cap is longer than the large cap; mounting a small cap
(longer) where a large cap was, will likely create clearance issues with the
bulkhead.
The threads in the master are different as well, so it will be best to
replace with an identical unit.

   I have been reading the list for years now but this is my first post!
   I  am  in  the  process  of getting my spitfire back on the road after
   about  ten  years,   I  am losing my storage space and plan to make it
   into an every-other day driver.
   I  just  spent  the  weekend doing the GM alternator swap(works great)
   and sorting out the wiring. Now I am moving on to the brakes.
   The  problem  is that it is built from several different vehicles.  It
   is   a  MK2  but  It  has  a  rotoflex  rear  end  and  a  dual  brake
   mastercylinder.   My  question is how do I identify the mastercylinder
   and  the  wheel cylinders.  the wheel cylinders might be the spit four
   or the gt6.  The dual line master cylinder could be later spit or TR6.
   Thanks for any help,
   Chris
