Hello i'm having similar problems as kelnic in another post,took car for roadworthy(warrant of fitness nz)after the winter storage and rear brake cylinders are also rusty/corroded i am going to replace both sides and am wondering what size dimension wheel clinders/pistons etc they are as i want to get the right size part the first time rather than taking back to the shop the wrong size part any help would be much appreciated,thanks in advance.

I had a recurring issue with rusting brakes as well until I had the cylinders sleeved with stainless, has been good for several years now
