Hi Mark,
No mate I didn't receive one! I sent one to another member and he didn't receive that. Must be a problem somewhere? I'll send you one to see if you get it mate!

These are the easy and cheaper ones to find (rear ones are expensive). Martin or Speedies usually have them.
I'd check the bore on the one you have against what comes out - there a two different sizes:I

Both cylinders look the same, they changed around '76, so you should be safe with the early one. The difference is 5/8 or 11/16 piston dia.

Just changed mine today and the above info is from Mr Maltas;) Speedies do new old stock which are cheaper but Martin's are brand new, plus Martin's postage is lightning quick too, no brainer[^]
 
Well am pulling my hair out with these cylinders! I have had two sets now and although they look the same they do not fit:(

The problem is the location pin on the original ones I took off 'X-Box' the pin is lower than on the "NEW" replacements, I take it that the Dodge Spacevan's are different cylinders to a Commer PB's? They are the same apart from the location pin? If anyone can shed any light on this for me I'd be most grateful.

I found the same years ago when I was supplied with the wrong one from the local motorfactors (yes they used to have them:I) Once I got the correct one, with the larger bore, the pin was in the right place.

Hi matey! When you say "large bore" can you enlighten me further? as I have asked for ones that fit a Dodge Spacevan not a commer but they have sent the same ones twice![:0]

I am waiting for Martin to get back to me about some! as I need them asap!
 
Some are 5/8" bore size and some are 11/16" - measure the original and see how it compares with the new ones.
I'll post a pic of one of my old ones in a mo.

This one is 11/16" bore
It looks the same as the old ones in your pic - it looks like they've sent you 5/8"

Cheers mate I will look in to it am not sure which ones I have I thought about drilling another hole but wasn't sure if that was a good idea!

On one of the cylinders I got the part number is 4241-062SP!

Thanks for your help mate I will look in to it and hopefully get it sorted:D
 
You would be better asking Martin for the right ones, that's where I got mine - he knows the score.

Yes mate I will ring Martin about it I also need to ask him about some other stuff!

Am trying my best to get 'X-Box' on the road this year as I'd like to get to a few meets!;)
 
Martin all the way mate. As i said, i literally have just put my new one on that Martin sent me. Wheel Cylinders have been my bone of contention of late, ask Martin, we must have exchanged 20 emails or so about em HAHAHAHA!
