    Hi
    Does anyone have a picture of the front wheel cylinder from the outside with the hose installed. I have a feeling that they sold me rear cylinders as the hose inlet points into the spindles. IMG_1057.JPG
    Thanks in advance Phil

    If that's the drivers side, I think you have the passenger side backing plate on there. Here's my drivers side

    Thanks for the picture. The backing plate is just set on the spindle I was trying all the combinations of plates and cylinders to see if I could get what I have to work. After looking at yours and the pictures from napa I'm sure they sold me the wrong cylinders, probably rear ones.

    A rear cylinder would have a seat for the tubing flare.
    Front would be machined with a gasket surface & no seat for the flare.

    Another confirmation of what I thought.

    Thanks Phil
