Rear right cylinder
Rear left cylinder
Has anyone had any experience changing these, and does anyone know where I can get the correct parts from, ASAP!
Many thanks!
Ali.

Why don't your replacements fit? Eurocarspares are usually ok.
They are easy enough to change, remove pipes, remove 2 bolts lever shoes apart and flip cylinder out, squash new pistons in and replace.
If you are fitting new pipes: if the male ends have an unthreaded portion they won't fit. The original pipe fittings are threaded all the way to the end.
If you decide to remove all the springs and shoes, do one side at a time so you can use the other as reference.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

The other (driver side) has the correct mount holes, but instead of 2 threaded holes for the brake lines to screw into, it has a single hole for a brake line, and a bleed nipple. The bleed nipple is a different thread to the brake line nut, so no joy there.
Thanks for the pointers, I will look on e-bay. I have also found these guys - www.jkmotorfactors.co.uk/ Anyone used them?

ECP did send me the wrong one for the left hand side (wrong car and was in a bag with oil residue inside), but they changed it no problem (I took it to a ECP branch in Redhill who where very helpful). The wrong one was sent via an online order.
I have also fitted new rear shoes, and front disk and pads and a master cylinder, and all were correct first time and of reasonable quality purchased from ECP (Pagid for the shoes, pads and disks).

Lesson learned: Ring the main dealer, they might just be competitive on price!

Each or for the pair? ECP where £25 each for me.

Each. I snapped the bleed nipple twice and remember they were cheap enough to not bother with trying to drill it out!

I use a local motor factors regularly and as I do so they look after me in making sure I get the right parts, ordering two or three possible options, sending back the ones that are wrong and at trade prices now too.
Do use the Bigjimny shop for Jimny parts though as you know Martin will send you the right parts and of good quality, bearings are especially cheap and are quality ones too!
