Both Classic Sunbeam or Sunbeam Specialties sell the brake master cylinder. Try Mark Davis at volvoguys 717-571-7065 or 717-545-9028 for the differential.

Did you have the 4.22 or 3.89 diff?
If you had a 4.22... swap in a 3.89 from a non overdrive earlier car.
Also did the Dodd blow because your ring gear bolts failed? Was the diff howling when you drove?
The lock tab washers compress and allow the bolt to vibrate and loosen.. any diff you buy replace all the bolts. Don't use the tab washers.. use Loctite on the bolts.

Alpines and Tigers use the same master cylinder as the brakes are basically identical...
Thanks for the plug, Rick.
Yup, I have 3:89 and 4:22 diffs on hand. Shipping to Cali would be no problem.

A side note.. when you put the 3.89 in your Speedo will be out of calibration...you can buy a conversion box to gear it down, or mark the proper 40/60 on the glass so you know.
It's worth mentioning that Cy's VIN indicates the SV was built after body B395010313, so it would have been fitted with a 3:89 with coarse splines.
