This wheel cylinder assembly came with some Sunbeam parts I bought. Does anyone know what it fits? Any help in identifying this NOS part will be much appreciated. Thanks.

The part number is under an old inventory sticker that hides it. I’ve tried to gently to remove it but you know how that goes.

I'll make a guess - remember it's only a guess.
The cylinder pictured appears to be a rear, self adjusting, with hand brake lever unit.
Self adjusting feature would make for a later model usage.
Series Alpines used Girling brakes, Hillman models used Lockheed brakes. I think the other Rootes lines also used Lockheed brakes.
WSM 145 states under the "Lockheed Brakes" description, the rear brakes are "self adjusting".
The Arrow-Hunter range cars all used Lockheed brakes, including the Rapier coupes.
The guess would be the unit in question is possibly for a Series VI Minx or one of the later Arrow-Hunter cars, including coupes.
The possible reality of it being for a MGB or TR7 wouldn't surprise me.
Rick,
Is there a possibility the previous owner had a sV with self adjusting brakes and picked up this unit thinking it might be substituted for a defective Girling unit? Maybe possible wrong part from VB?
Puzzling on,
