No problem Tony.
As an aside, it is very worth watching the interview with the brothers Rimmer on Graham Robson's Triumph Cars DVD.
They give a clear explanation of the market's influence on them as they both sell and recommission parts.
I am old enough to clearly remember the constant slating that new BL parts received from all directions
so find it more than a little amusing to observe today that they same parts are held up as wonderful high quality
.
My experience of wheel cylinders in general is that they are a bit of a lottery, eg we fitted Delphi cylinders to my friend's
Citroen but one only lasted two years (about 5K)
.
To this end I'll keep a pair to for the Sprint, after all if you have an umbrella it will not rain....
thanks,
Ian
You make a good point Ian, I spent a lot of time in the 70's cycling to Unipart (Appleyard?) on Canal Road in Bradford for my dad with an incapacitated car, taking back new parts that either fell apart coming out of the box, was completely the wrong part or had failed prematurely. I'm happy to use all of the Triumph suppliers today, I'm grateful that they exist, and also that they at least try and remanufacture some parts even if they don't always get it exactly right.
Good luck with the run and the weather Tony!
