<DIV>Hello All......</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Quick question on the replacement of a rear brake cylinder on my 59
TR3A......</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I ordered the replacement parts for a leaking cylinder from Moss UK and
received part number 580-025.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This part was ordered while over seas 1 year ago, unfortunately I am just
getting around to installing the bad cylinder.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Quick baseline I also ordered a 72 TR6 fuel pump while there that
arrived and turned out to be the wrong part as the lever was totally different
than the one off the car and would not run. Long story short ...back and forth
and finally converted to an electronic one I had. Moss UK swapped out the pump
for a regulator.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now the rear brake cylinder for the 3......after installing it....it
became apparent that the shoes were tight to the drum with little or no
adjustment possible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A friend here just installed a Roadster Factory cylinder that matches the
one I took off and is different than the one Moss UK sent. Thinking the part was
wrong I checked on Moss USA and saw the picture of the part and it is identical
to the Moss UK part (Golden Classic)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The part of the cylinder that is different is the cylinder itself has a
flat instead of the 2 ears where the brake shoe slides into.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So my question is has anyone used a Moss brake cylinder without any
problems......before I have another go at installing it or even contacting Moss
for a return.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One other question about the shoes...the RF shoes that my friend
received each (4) has a slot for the handbrake lever. My guess on this is
that the shoes are resurfaced and that explains the reason for that. My shoes
from Moss only has two for the lever slots...(pr for each rear tire).... am
I correct in this thought.....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
