Re: [2cylinderhondas] Where to buy wheel cylinders/shoes for rear d

[dealadayray]

Hi Mike;
When you speak of cylinders I am assuming your talking about the rear wheel
cylinders on the Coupe. There are some kits available, but not many.
Normally the cylinder is corroded to the point of needing replacement or
having it resleeved. Brass is the best as your cylinders are aluminum.
Sierra Specialty Automotive at www.brakecylinder.com is a shop I use quite a
bit with very good results every time. At $50.00 a cylinder it really is
not all that bad either. Then it comes to rebuilding the internal parts.
As I said earlier the kits are hard to come by. Miles has had some in the
past and may be able to help you. But if you can't get the proper seals all
is not lost. If you go to the ANZhonda600owners group page, and into the
photo album section there is a Folder labeled "Rear Wheel Cylinder Fix".
There it shows the alternative route to the Honda seals. The cups can be
purchased at any brake shop and they come in all sizes. And normally the
staff will be more than happy to show you which is the best fit. They will
also be the folks that can reline your shoes, or know where to have them
relined.
Just remember, this is a 30+ year old car your working on and things will
take time to get right.
