Rear Brake Cylinders

[Randy_Gay]

Does anyone know if a later model (BJ8) rear brake cylinder will work on an early (BN4 / BN6) system?

Hi Randy,

If you still have your old cylinders you can have them resleeved which makes them better than new. I had mine done by Sierra Specialty Automotive https://www.brakecylinder.com/ and was very pleased with the quality. I have some pictures on my restoration website resleeved cylinders

Cheers,
John

Hi John,
You've been helping me with my restoration questions. And I'm sure I speak for everyone here, thank you for offering your expertise.

Today was the first day I took a look at your restoration website. I didn't know you had one. Wow, very well documented and excellent attention to detail.

Hopefully some day we will meet. I'd love to see your car and thank you in person for all your help. Cheers, Roger

Thanks Roger and Rob for the kind words. I don't really have much expertise though. Just going through my first ground up restoration and trying to learn as much as possible as I go. Most of the time I just parrot something that I learned from someone else.

Really look forward to meeting you too. Lots of nice people on this forum and hopefully our paths will cross in the near future (higher probability once I get this car on the road!)

Cheers,
John
