216 Coupe rear wheel cylinders

Post by Smiffie »

I ordered a pair of new rear wheel cylinders from Rimmer Bros, I was careful to select fro the "Coupe, Cabriolet & Tourer" section & not from the "Hatch & Saloon" section, when they arrived they were different from those on my car, mine look more like the hatch/saloon type. My cylinders have a cone at on one piston end with a slot to locate the shoe when the hand break is used & mine have a pipe connection to suit a double flare pipe end as are my pipes, the new ones have plain ends & a pipe connection to suit a button flare pipe end. Has anyone else encountered this?

My old 214i was built in 1995 and had the same cylinder type as yours. I think rover must have changed the part when the R3 200's were introduced.
