<HTML>Poor Lucy! PO took it to a not-so-reputable shop 13 years ago. Beside 
losing the driveshafts, starter and brake master cylinder, they ordered four 
left front series 2a wheel cylinders and put one at each corner. Ruined the 
brake springs as well. What is the size of the rear wheel cylinders? One 
inch, right? I'm going to have to use 2a bits, and I've got plenty, at the 
corners, with a new series one mastercylinder, also on hand. Going to have 
to make the lines.

My poor baby! Daddy will make it better! Open to suggestions. Over here in 
Georgia, original parts are scarce. Bill Bradford at TLR helps out a lot, 
though. He orders through Dunsfold. (Get it; DLR and *T*LR?)

I also need rear driveshaft measurements so I can have one of my swb ones 
shortened.

TIA, y'all!!



Cheers!
