Title: FC wheel cylinders
Post by: Penguin on August 31, 2008, 09:48:54 PM

I need to replace the wheel cylinders on my FC, original brakes. I found I can purchase EH wheel cylinders considerably cheaper than FC units. Is it possible to fit the eh cylinders to fc brakes?
Thanks in advance, Ben.

Would say no without other modifications as front FX - EK cylinder bore is 1-3/16 inch where as the EJ - EH are 1 inch & rear FB - EK are 1 inch & EJ - HR 13/16 inch.
Best check with a brake repairer as your brakes play a very important part in stopping a vehilce.

Quoterear FB - EK are 1 inch & EJ - HR 13/16 inch

What I should of said was rear FX - FC 1 1/16 inch & EJ - HR 13/16 inch
