URGENT: Cup/Seals for CF Brake Cylinders
« on: February 04, 2009, 06:16:50 PM »
I need this URGENTLY as two of my brake cylinders are leaking like a sieve.

Anyone have a supplier that I can call and order these from ASAP?

My van is a 1978 CF LWB. It is basically "un-driveable" at the moment and I
need to get her back on the road URGENTLY.

Any help greatly appreciated.

JD any GOOD brake supplier should be able to re sleeve your wheel cylinders. Insist on stainless steel sleeves.

What sort of cost will I be looking at?
4 x cylinders on the front and 2 x cylinders on the rear...

That's 6 all up.

Also... I am not that interested in re-sleeving if it is going to be expensive.

I can clean the internals up like this...

and then install the new cups and all good.

Just honing them out is crap. Why put your life and other road users lives at risk? DIY and each cylinder will have to match the cup sizes in the kit. Each bore will need to be the right size. I wouldn't be doing it myself without the right equipment and KNOWLEDGE.

Ya ya I know everyone has done them before, but just think who's driving the vehicle, who will be in it with you, will other people be on the road with you. I've seen too many diy jobs gone wrong and the aftermath.

Resleeving in stainless isnt that dear, shop around a bit. They will be better than new and last a life time............

Are the cylinders cast alloy or steel?
