Jeff:

Give MotorTrike a call and they can tell you which wheel cylinder you need and might have them in stock and might ship them to you. My wifes 1500 had drum brakes and I think the rearend came out of a Ford ranger pickup.

Jeff,

Here is a part number that should allow you to purchase the wheel cylinders locally. (Wagner) F34876. Hopefully that will help get you back on the road in a timely manner! As a side note, if your 1500 has been sitting for a bit, we recommend you bleed your front left brake caliper as well to be sure all air is removed from the system.

Hi Speedy and Motor Trike thanks for your replies,I will endeavour to source some cylinders now that I have a part number.I presume Wagner is the manufacturer not the rear end used.if I am un-successful I will take them off so I can measure them.Once again guys thanks for your input.Jeff At least we still have Sues 1800 trike to use so will not lose any riding weather(when it decides to change)
