Default Clutch Slave Cylinder leaking

I have ERA 91 (late 80's build) - pictured below is, I believe, the clutch slave cylinder, leaking.

Question: what 'brand', year, etc would this be for a replacement?

Input would be appreciated.

I have ERA 714 built in 2005/2006 with the slave cylinder leaking as well. Should I also call Bob? Do you have a part number as well?

Always call Bob for ERA related parts. He will supply you or direct you.

Normally, posters here post parts numbers, etc., but, yes, Bob also can be contacted - we all know that!

Really? Is that what posters normally do in your vast experience here?? And if you 'all knew' to contact Bob, why did you ask this question here?

Normally OP's say 'Thanks for your help' when someone takes the time to give a correct answer to their problem. A little searching or a call is not too onerous for you is it??

I'm not mechanically inclined - one heck of a return spring - is that good or bad?

Of course it's impossible to tell a springs tension rate from a picture and maybe it's not as stiff as the wire size alone might indicate - at least the coils are certainly close together and relaxed. If the clutch pedal effort is reasonable and it keeps the throwout bearing off of the clutch fingers then it's OK.
