Hi Peter
I will check, though it is a long shot I think as the car was restored in
the UK by a very good restorer, and the brakes have been fine until this
year.

Thanks

Tim

There are several bore sizes of wheel cylinders that otherwise look
identical. I have seen the "mixed" on a few cars.  Suggest you check them.
They are sometimes stamped with the bore diameter.
