Hi guys,
Please help, it looks like my front passenger side brake cylinder has developed a leak - and I'd like to either repair it with a kit or replace the whole unit...
I know I can probably get from the well known suppliers at a premium, but is there a workable equivalent? I know the master is very similar to the fiat, is the slave the same?
Thanks for reading. Mark

Hi Mark
The rear wheel cylinders have local make-do fiat replacements. So far no one has reported Front Caliper piston kits

No local replacement. Ventz should have kits.

I took my rear cylinder to Natal Resleeving in Pinetown. They reconditioned the cylinder and put in new seals... working as good as new.
