Anderzander Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I’ve had too many CB cylinders fail on me - so I’m now looking to put in a CV type. The CV cylinders still seem to be made to a decent quality and seem easier to bleed - am I right on that? If so - any recommendations for a brand to go for ? I’ll need some new pipework to do this - so it also seems like a decent time to perhaps get a flaring kit and fittings - does anyone have any recommendations there ? I’ll need to make up two short lengths: Female 7/16 UNF to Male 7/16 UNF Male 3/8 UNF to Male 3/8 UNF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92a Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Sykes Pickavant for the flaring tool or get them made for you ( if you can find this guy on eBay I have had stuff from him before ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Try www.pastparts.co.uk for rebuilding your CB master cylinder . I've not used them yet but I know people that have and the standard of rebuild is supposed to be excellent , not just LR either Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 There's a few firms out there doing stainless re-sleeving of all sorts of automotive cylinders, maybe worth a try if you go that route? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
