(Home) Wheel cylinders

Help.

I have a 1989 Town Ace 4x4 Royal Lounge 2.0 EFI that is needing a pair of wheel cylinders for the rear brakes. I have been unable to source a pair of cylinders to fit my Royal Lounge other than ordering from a Toyota dealer or motor factors which will meen a delay of two to five days, however, I am able to get a pair to fit a Lite Ace but will they fit my Townie? They are cheap at only £5.70 each.

what kind of liteace? Plus are you aware that you can buy seal kits from the dealer?...

All Townace 4x4 models 89-95 use the same rear wheel cylinder, the ADL Blueprint number is ADT34422 same for each side. Just find an ADL stockist & they should be able to help. If you want to know where your nearest stockist is, just e-mail me & I'll let you know.

For information, they are the same as some Liteace vans & MPVs, but not all, so be careful.

Sorry above post should read models from 85-95.

Thanks for the info guys. I went ahead and bought the Lite Ace cylinders from my local motor factors on the condition that I could return them if they did not fit my Townie. I removed the leaking Townie cylinders this afternoon and offered up the new Lite Ace cylinders and...perfect fit...they bolted on with out any problem. I also fitted new shoes while I had the brakes striped down. All in all a very good buy at only £5.70 each. I gather the original Toyota cylinders for the Townie are nearing £30.00 each.
