The cylinders are only £6 per side and are made at the same factory that
makes them for VW so I bought them without finding out the kit price. I take
your point I might just change the guts but not shure if it is OK to put new
pistons and seals in the old bores, if the bores look OK.

Did you consider just rebuilding the wheel cylinders or are the bores bad
too?  Welcome to the list.
