John, Alan,
Than there is something I do not quite understand.. When I look up the
AHSpares catalog & Moss & Healey Part's catalog I get the following info:
AH PN MOSS PN AHSpares
7H4583 021-149 BRK120 CYL-front R/H BN1-BN1.221403 1"
7H4584 021-146 BRK121 CYL-front L/H BN1-BN1.221403 1"
7H4643 021-147 BRK122 CYL-front R/H BN1.221404-BN2 7/8"
7H4644 021-144 BRK123 CYL-front L/H BN1.221404-BN2 7/8"
Mine is a BN2 231175..
What is the best to have then?..
This seems to be quite an investment for 2 wheels at $70 a piece :-)
On top, the quality on the Taiwan replacements seems pretty terrible...
Thanks, Tadek

Alan
Sorry but I have to disagree. A BN2 should be 1" all round. It is the
later BN1s with the hypoid, 5 stud rear axle and 2 1/4" wide read brakes
that need the 7/8" diameter front wheel cylinders.
A BN2 has 2 1/4" wide drums front and back.
