Hi gang, I just replaced rear brake lines after 38 years of rust. The
prior owner had redone most but not all of the brake system. To my surprise
when bleeding the rear lines, both of my wheel cylinders , which were
recently replaced by prior owner, are frozen! I always felt that the brakes
were pretty good, but I guess I didn't know what I was missing. Shoes work
fine on the hand brake. Here is my question. Moss Motors lists 3 different
parts depending on serial number. Mine should be the 5/8 bore based on
serial numbers. TRF lists only one part. I guess they must interchange.
BUT....why would my seemingly new cylinders not be working? Is there some
double special secret gimmick here? Could this lockup happen if the prior
owner had screwed up the spring plate, locking plate and distance washers???
Also, my manual and parts book do not cover the Girling systems. The only
photo record of what things look like is in the Moss book. Anyone care to
share some wisdom. Thanks Mark 59 TR3A TS52020L
