Ke55 Wheel Cylinder Trouble

[sammo[RL]]

I've been trying to price a set of wheel cylinders for a ke55, with prices ranging from $30 a set to $79 a set!

 

But today the Autobarn guy told me that there are two different size wheel cylinders available for a 55. One 19 mm and the other 20mm.

 

Is this true,?

 

Would it matter which one i put in?

 

And if there is only one size, does anyone know a part number for them?

 

 

Cheers

I always thought that the ke3x and ke5x ran all the one type of wheel cylinders, even with the jap diff and the borgy.

 

When you say 19mm/20mm, you mean the piston diametre?

 

1mm shouldn't make a difference should it?

 

The pistons only push on the brake shoe's, in my opinion i wouldn't think that it would make a difference,

 

just my 2 cents,

Yes it will make a difference to your brake bias, you might notice your rears lock easier. Might only be one millimetre, but its the area of the piston that's the issue.

^^^^^^^True, i never looked at it in that aspect, if that were to be the case maybe brake adjustment could compensate?

 

@ sammo, best way would be to measure the piston and go from there, then you would be able to order the correct parts,
