Help required: Wheel Cyl. boot part# interchange

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that information regarding thinner Spanish made IBS cups. It made me go check my spares box.

Luckily the rear ones were the correct thickness NOS ABS items but the front were the Spanish IBS as pictured.

Even without measuring, the IBS cup on the right is noticeably thinner than an earlier original sample on the left.
Measured as best as possible on a rubber part: 0.350" vs 0.315" = 0.035"

Not a lot, but enough to cause problems with sealing obviously.

Cheers,

[John Mackie]

Mike . It is a pity what's happered to the patrs of the Repco company.
I get all my brake hoses cylanders and cups from a firm at Orange N. S. W. They seem to have most items in stock

Check the thread F15A wheel cylinder boots for a reference to an ATE part number.

HTH,
