Hi Phil,.
The correct ones are readily available, just a tad spendy. The old ones are not usually worth rebuilding as you won't be doing anything to correct the rust and pits on the 2 steel pistons, and likely the pits in the aluminum are way deep. It also costs more to sleeve than to get new ones. Again, you'll do nothing about the 2 steel cyls when sleeved! Just buy new and get it done right. These wheel cyls are the same as on the Morris Minors.

Hi Phil,
I believe rear cylinders were specified as 7/8" bore for all drum braked
cars but went to 3/4" for cars originally fitted with discs. Are your 3/4"
cylinders the later twin piston type? If they are, I think you want a GRK
2014 repair kit. If they're not, I'm stumped.
