Hi all ,I have a January 1972 1.3 coupe that I am restoring and I need to know what type of front and rear wheel cylinders or repair kits I need there appears to be two types my chassis number is 46762 so am I right in thinking I need the early type?

Josh will be along shortly, he's the early car man.

Hi Keith, good to see you on here. Yes you need the early type. The early front wheel cylinders are 19mm- same as Triumph Herald and Anglia 105E. They are available new. You need early shoes as well, usually available on eBay. Rear cylinders on early drum/drum cars are 17.5mm. Same as disc/drum cars from late 72 to 1980. Again these are available new.

Cheers Josh I realised that the front cylinders were the same as my anglia after I took them off,thanks for the info on the rears

On my early car the rear cylinders are dolomite sprint and shoes same as escort mk1. It's a TC so may differ

Early 1.8s and TCs had different sized wheel cylinders and were auto adjust.

Is this some?

As it says in the listing, those ones are for 1973-1975 models. Early ones had different shoes and cylinders
