just put new rear wheel cylinders on a BT7.  ordered the TRW ones which cost about 4 times as much as the cheaper ones.  
cylinders would not fit into the slots.  were about 50 thousands too thick.  called the supplier and they said the notes on 
their computer stated "some grinding and filing necessary".  for real?  anyway, i did that and must not have got one of them 
correct because it was not releasing fully after brake application and made a grinding noise.  had hub off a few times before 
i figured out the problem.  oiled slot and plates and moved the cylinder back and forth until it slid easily and now no 
hangups.
