1997 850 Clutch master cylinder

I'm having trouble finding a suitable replacement clutch master cylinder for my 1997 850 Estate. All those offered have clipped plastic hydraulic pipe connection whereas I need one with a metal hydraulic pipe/union connection. Would prefer to replace complete unit, but may have to just replace seals if unable to source one. Considered replacing master and slave cylinders and new plastic connection pipe, but can only find metal pipe connected slave cylinders. Any advice appreciated!

There are two slaves depending on internal or external release bearing, but I believe all the masters have a slip in bayonet style connection into the metal line.

Wrote up the procedure on a 1998 recently here

Thanks abscate that's helpful. This is the hydraulic feed end of the master cylinder - nothing like the plastic pipe and clip connection offered replacements have

That’s uncharted territory for me. Hmmm.

I've found a Volvo part number on the side - 9163882, but still no luck locating one
