Brake cylinders

[jonnyvolks73]

Hi all I was looking at getting some new rear cylinders for my January 71 , I seem to have misplaced my old ones about 6 years ago when the brakes were stripped :-/ .

Where's the best place to get some ? C&c don't list them at all and heritage have some for £51 which are out of stock and some that are £13 which they have in stock

Question is are the cheap ones a waste of time ?

Is there anyone else who might do decent ones ?

Just going to look at jk after writing this
Cheers

I bought and fitted the cheap ones back in 2005 and they now need replacing.

The originals lasted 34 years whilst the cheap replacements lasted 9.

I shall be dismantling the new ones I have bought and applying brake grease to help the seals do their job in the hope they will last better.

:lol:

I suppose 9 years isn't too bad but like you say not great but £13 to buy me some time might be my only option .
