Paul,
This looks to be a very early Girling hydraulic cylinder.

Ruairidh,
Thanks but what car would this be off? He’s hoping to use the back plates and fit new cylinders.

They appear similar though not exactly identical to the Lockheed rear wheel cylinders on the 1948 to 1952 Morris Series MM Minor - i.e. the 8hp side-valve engined cars not the the later O.H.V. Morris Minor Series 2 and Minor 1000. Though not exactly identical, it may well be that you could substitute these Series MM Minor ones for the cylinders your friend currently has fitted to his Girling backplates. ESM in the UK stock these at £22.74 inc. VAT. Note they're 7/8" bore.

Have you tried Power Track Ltd - they stock Lockheed and Girling wheel cylinders for classic cars. Is there a part number on the cylinder ? - if so drop Power Track an email quoting that number and see what they suggest.
