Type-3 brake question
If you like to experiment a bit, check the existing cylinder diameter. If it
is 17.45mm, you can test the 19.05mm or 22.22mm and see which one you like. The 19.05 might need a washer under the mounting flange to achieve the correct depth. The 22.22mm is available in 2 types, a tall and a short version. For 4-lug rear drum brakes (swingaxle) you can fit the RCCR2157.8 part number (Varga) or equivalent 22.22mm cylinder. An 23.81mm cylinder also exists, but I haven't tried if it fits. Regards, Bill Spiliotopoulos.
