ed3265 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hello I wonder if someone out there can help. I have a TR3 (TS21885 0 ) which has a leaking near-side rear wheel cylinder. Moss have supplied one (GWC1118) but the slot is too narrow for the handbrake cable lever. Although it looks v similar to the old part, the piston bore is larger and the new one has a waist just below the slot. The old one has a number on the side (64673305). The off-side cylinder was changed in May by a garage doing the MOT and they didn't say there was a problem. Any ideas? Many Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marvmul Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 The narrower bore was fitted to later TR3A, it seems that moss has send you the right part,but that a wrong wheel cylinder (or swapped axle) has been fitted to your car in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marvmul Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 and the new one has a waist just below the slot Do you mean the piston? This seems strange to me. I think that the handbrake lever should fit anyway if the part is right : all rear wheel cylinders of the TR sidescreens are interchangeable as far as I know, even between 9" and 10" axle's. The part number is right, can it be that the part is not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed3265 Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hello Thank you, right number but wrong part does seem likely. Currently waiting for Moss to get back to me after they look into it. I'll let you know. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
