Brake wheel cylinders

[timk11]

I finally got around to putting my RX7 mags on only to discover the left rear wheel cylinder leaking.  I had put a kit in before about a year ago so I honed again and put another.  Is there another cylinder that crosses or am I going to have to go to Miles or Mike to get a good one?  I don't trust this one since I have put two kits in it.  By the way, the mags really look good.  Now I am on a quest to find center caps for them.

Is there a difference between a 72 600  wheel cylinder and a 73 Civic wheel cylinder.  I inherited a Haynes when I bought my car and it intimates there are no differences.  It gives the same specs for both.  One of the local parts places carries the 73 Civic cylinders in their catalogs.  They didn't have one at the store but are ordering one for me to look at.  Just curious.

one that the coupe uses),the only problem is the thread pitch is
1.00 vs.1.25 on the 600"s.YOU'll need an adaptor or make up your own
brake line with a fine pitch line fitting on that end.

Hi Tim;
    The difference is they both have bleed valves.  The 1973 does not have a cross over cylinder.

You need a T block adapter and 2 new steel lines. I have never found
a metric T Block, so you would need a double flaring tool 2 3/8 - 24
flare nuts and 2 10mm x 1.00mm pitch flare nuts. I was planning on
making conversion kits, but have never gotten around to it.
