Now that Andy has supplied the Stanpart #, I'm going to backtrack on my
earlier statement.  Although they have many part numbers cross-referenced
together, Moss UK does not list the same replacement for 122779 as for 56865
(Stanpart # for later TR3).

Sounds like they must have different threads on them.  ISTR the TR3 uses
1/8" NPT (which is unusual for brake fittings), so maybe the Vitesse/Sports
6/Herald uses straight threads or something.
