MG TD TF 1500 - TF wheel cylinders

My wheel cylinders are due for a change out , can anyone give me a heads up on the best ones to buy and who from, Moss USA seem to be the best price.

George, I have Moss cylinders on mine and no issues. I also use silicone fluid in the system, but nothing wrong with the old type. PJ

Hi George,

Some time ago,I had my original Brake Wheel Cylinders sleeved at Perth Brake Parts. They used Stainless Steel. No problems,however not a cheap exercise ! I run them with Silicone Brake Fluid,again no leaks and no problems at all.

I have heard comment that the new repro. brake cylinder internal components are not a suited match to the originals?

Brakes are important,so no compromise allowed.

Cheers.

George,
I had my wheel cylinders and master cylinder sleeved in stainless steel by Halray Brake Reconditioning in South Lismore NSW. I was very happy with the service provided, (Dec 2013). They were good people to deal with.

I replaced mine with cylinders from Moss. Lucas on the back and Aftermarket on the front. The Aftermarket front cylinders are good quality so I suggest aftermarket on each corner to save on cost

I also had my master cylinder and my wheel cy;inders stainless steel sleeved on both my MGB and my TD. The MgB had the sleeves put in more than ten years ago now with no problems whatsoever.
