    If there is any corrosion at all in the cylinders, then it is best to re-sleeve them, especially if you want to keep it original. Do a complete system overhaul while you are at it, i.e. check the drums for wear and change the pipes if they are rusty. New brake parts, except for the BSF wheel cylinders and 80" master cylinder are freely available.

    Welcome to the forum,

    Cheers Charlie

    Do as Charlie suggests, if you have the original cast iron cylinders and the threads are O.K. get them sleeved, the job is done in stainless and will outlast the rest of the vehicle provided no grit gets in.

    The rubbers are exactly the same as the rubbers used on the 88" right through and including series 3.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I had mine relined in SS in 1982 and use the vehicle most days on the farm. I have only had to fit new rubbers once in all this time. The bores were perfect ,so it pays for its self in the long run. Do the SS reline now and never look back mate!

    Yes, I agree with you Mildred I have been re-sleeving since 1980; however; I have had to pay someone else to do it. It would be nice to be able to do it myself.
