OK, if memory serves me properly at the moment...... the M/C 9M is 1969 December assembly. The 23 means it has a 23mm bore.

(The late date also means that this was likely replaced at some point in time as #642 would have been assembled late 1968 or very early 1969. Check your window dates.....cast iron dates.... brake caliper dates.....)

Being a 23mm bore, the following will NOT apply!

On 878 the M/C was I believe.... a 21mm bore (unmarked on the end nut!) and used Fiat wheel cylinder "donut seals" for the basic internal seals. Thankfully my rear wiper seal was in great shape and was able to reuse it.....as it is unknown as to number and where to find?

For 23mm pieces and parts, look to Pantera M/C's and parts sources. DOT 3 brake fluid causes bad bad things to happen in these cylinders......

The Ferrari thing is true, as is it's usage in other Italian large vehicles of the day.... Maserati comes to mind........

Cheers!
