Wheel cylinders

Big Mat · May 21, 2012

Hi all,

Do i need two wheel cylinders on each front brake? Its a 1980 series 3.

It looks like there is two but i'm not 100% sure and the haynes manual isnt helpful.

probably they went to 2 in 1980 on 88 but check behind drum you can see transfer pipe between the two

yeah theres 2, the 2 for the left are the same and 2 for the right are the same if that makes sense?

you might wanna order new brake lines, if they are anyting like mine they'll break as you take the old cylinders out.

Totally agree about the brake lines erm..breaking. I had a sod of a job getting unions undone and broke a line trying. So as well as brake line beg steal or borrow a pipe flaring kit!

there are people on ebay that will make pipes for u, i got the pipe from the flexi brake line to the cylinder and the top cylinder to the bottom cylinder made for both wheels, was 10 or 12 quid i think.
