anybody recently bought or had there wheel cylinders recoed/resleeved etc i've seen the new ones on ebay at $290 a set but i think that's a rip off considering the same thing for say an EH is less than $100
haven't pulled mine apart yet may just need a clean and new rubbers but seeing what my options are
thanks

Probably not much help to you Mick as I only had to buy rears just before the Nats and they were HR, cost $44 for the pair.

Mick, I wouldn't bother buying new wheel cylinders. Just get your old ones sleeved.
Cost to do mine were:
$49.50 ea for 1" cylinders
$55.00 ea for 1 3/16" cylinders
New cups $13.20 all up
Cost to remove old sleeve if fitted $22.00 each

All up still cheaper than new cast cylinders that will corrode out. I also went a bit further and had bronze pistons made up which cost me a fair bit more and I'll be running Silicon brake fluid.

thanks that's what i was after, i'll pull mine apart in the next couple of days maybe they'll just need new rubber cups that's usually worked on more than a few that i've done before
