Escort rear wheel cylinder sizes?
Coose - 29/8/06 at 02:35 PM

Does anyone know the available wheel cylinder sizes for an English axle? I really need bigger cylinders (or 9" drums, but if I go to the hassle of that I may as well change to discs) so I could do with knowing the available sizes to compare against the existing ones.

Cheers!

The vans had bigger rear wheel cylinders than the cars. It is common in Aus to fit van rears on se7ens.

Cheers,
Syd.

Now that's what I was after! Cheers!
I just need to measure mine now....

I don't want to go down the route of buying a whole axle just for the drums - as I said I'd rather go to discs instead but I'd rather try some small mods (such as cylinders) as that may be all I need! Cheers anyway....
