Vacuum Cylinder Overhaul

We can provide a complete overhaul and test service for Vacuum brakes. 18" and 21" rolling ring and sliding band vacuum cylinders are dismantled, overhauled, re-assembled and tested on our ex Swindon works test rig.

All rubber components are replaced and also the lid guide bush if required.

Please note: this is not an exchange service - the original cylinder is repaired and returned.
