Parts lists say cylinder HC5348, but a vendor is insisting the 5345 will bolt right up, which I find odd. Why then is there a specific part number? Thank you

I also learned that an HC5345 can be converted to an HC5348 by an authorized repair centre, by changing out the plate. Teleflex will not sell the part to anyone off the street...only to their authorized service people.
