If you can find a pair of original ones, get them sleeved in stainless. $80 per corner when I did it. They will last for ever.

Power Brakes SA are experts in old stuff and send parts all over the world. Give them a ring and get their advice. Not the cheapest.

New cyls are cheap and available
But yes... Chinese manufactured
And yes we can sleeve them in stainless so the bore lasts forever
But the cyls still need to be serviced regularly

Yes I have the protec ,no problems so far I just wanted a spare quality set if any were available.Bosch made wheel cylinders but I’m not sure if they were Chinese or not which seem unavailable now.What did you find with the carburettor Marty?
