LA10 Wheel Cylinder Rebuild kit identification

Post by lilykill »

As the title suggests, I have the front wheel cylinders off and want to know where any other owners have bought there rebuild kits from? or if you have any links to them.
Additionally, as I havent taken the rears off yet, are the rear cylinders the same or a different and if so what what rebuild kits have other owners used/bought?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi. Powertrack might have new ones. They certainly have ones for Morris 8. May be the same body but smaller bore.
MG owners have new ones in bronze but about £250 each I think
Classiccar-brakes (same as Contract Auto Engineering Ltd) will service them. Fit a stainless sleeve, new seals and bleed valve for about £70 from memory.
I must do mine too. I suspect that when new they had chrome plated bores and if that has gone - the rot sets in.
Let me know how you get on.
Chris

Ok thanks, I have all cylinders off and stripped so I will contact Powertrack with the dimensions to see what they can do.
