I have only ever come across 2 sizes, but now I have three, sizes tomorrow, Rick

Well it gets worse, having a damaged rubber have been looking at all the old cylinders I have kicking around and thought that my old petrol off roader might provide a piston with rubber but after spending 20 min getting one out, yet another size, so I now have 4, 25mm. 24mm. 23.5mm. and now 22mm.

Well after another search found a working 24mm one that has been fitted, so still good for getting it ready for next Sunday, Rick

Sounds like you are having the same sort of time as me at the moment...

It's scary just how many differences there are to these cars over the years, and explains why some, like Suz's one, have such great brakes, and then ones like mine are only OK.
