[/quote] I think they should be fine........when I stripped the front brakes of my '53 a few months ago discovered that one side had an original 4 bolt cylinder whilst the other side was a 2-bolt one....... Given that my car has been off the road since 1990 it must have been an older repair and was garaged/stored due to a dropped valve, so was definitely running around with the brakes like that. :wink:

Thanks Ovalbug Just needed a bit reassurance have stripped one side out, have actually got a couple of repair kits however original cylinders are a bit grungy,will go with the 2 bolt at present. Cheers Sam.
