hydraulic slave cylinder identification...

Postby byron » Sat Feb 18, 2017 4:19 pm

can anyone id this brake cylinder..?
Image
old school hydraulic conversion on oe front disc.
done in the 90s at least, if not before.
It is leaking, I can probably get a new seal, but not sure if bore is too worn...
So, ideally a new replacement of the same...
[otherwise could enlarge cylinder bore and have another piston made..?]
don't think it's an MB one, Taffspeed maybe...?
thanks

It's always possible they made different versions, but Ian F ID'd that one and told me what the piston and seals were from.

The outer seal is more of a dust cover than a seal proper.

Chiselspeed seems to be the consensus.

or not, but they can bore it out and fit one of their pistons, so that likely to be the way forward.
