I haven't had much luck on the email front either, although when I ordered pistons they were at my door in two days so can't fault the service there. Although that doesn't help you identify the wheel cylinder manufacturer...

Attachment 122414The difference is with the R/H cylinder the brake pipe goese into the L/H side. This photo is taken looking down. I didn't realise there was a difference untill after I refittedvthe cylinders & new brake pipes & I have actually fitted them in the wrong sides , so it doesn't matter which side I get except I will need to re do the brake pipe.Quote:

The one I've got, and you could have ,according to the parts catalogue ,belongs to the left rear wheel ( pipe at the front). It's a 1" cylinder ,it would need honing or sleeving. All the threads appear to be ok. If you're interested PM me your postal address and I will post it tomorrow. .W.

Thanks for that BSF I will have a SS sleve fitted when it arrives. :thumbsup:
My wife gave me some free time today, so when I returned home from having treatment on my hands I got stuck into the final prep on the front guards ready for primer & top coat.Attachment 122831Attachment 122832
I have sprayed the under side with stone guard .

Attachment 122838I then turned my attention to the L/H door that appears to have bubbles under the paint . I removed the capping & all the reverts securing the seals & started hand sanding the paint off. This door was repaired at a panel shop the last time , it had some stresses in it. I noticed there were some cracks in the filler they had used so using a paint scraper proceeded to remove the flaking filler , it pealed off in sheets . & had not stuck to the Aluminum . Were the filler came off easy there are all these dark spots which are sticky & appear to be filler epoxy , were it had stuck there are none of these sticky spots & I had to use a flapper disc to remove the filler. My guess is they had not mixed the filler correct way back then. the filler was around 1/16" all over the door & i have never been real happy they had filled the spot weld marks . This panel shop was a classic car restoration shop & came highly recommended. The last photo is how I held the alum reverts in last time , they were some reverts I had bought at a swap meet & were too long & had gone hard so would not squash . So I used speed nuts & they have worked well . I had to use a wood chisel to cut the heads off because I could not get them out. Attachment 122835Attachment 122836Attachment 122837 Looks like i have a lot of work getting this door rite , there are a lot of hammer marks in it were they tried to get the stress out of it.[bigsad] I have to work out how to get the epoxy off the aluminum, I have tried the thinners I am ysing with my top coat but didn' t take it off . [bighmmm] will try turps & grease & wax remover see if that works.
Late yesterday I picked up the S/H wheel cylinder that BSF sent me from the Brake Co , SS sleeve , new pistons , spring & cup ex panders , bleeder, cups & boots , cost was $110 . hope to get it fitted & brakes bled this afternoon.Attachment 122917 Attachment 122917 Thanks again BFS.:thumbsup:
A little more done this afternoon . I refitted the L/H rear wheel cylinder & redirected the brake pipe. I did not bleed the brakes as my brother was not available to give me a hand. ( gone racing at historic racing Morgan Park)
decided I was sick of waiting for the company who supplied my wiring harness to supply the harness for the steering column so I found some 5 core trailer wire & used it instead. The wires are not going to be correct as per the wiring diagram but were the main harness has green with a red trace I have used red, green with white trace I used white & so on .[bighmmm]Attachment 122927Attachment 122928Attachment 122929
I am also running a earth wire instead of using the brass tube as an earth .
