MG TD TF 1500 - Rear brake cylinders

I have noticed a remarkable difference in pricing between the various specialist MG parts suppliers. Here is a sample of the current prices for a rear brake cylinder in the UK:

Moss: £59.95
Brown & Gammons: £24.05
NTG Motor Services: £68.74
Powertrack Ltd: £34.66

Does anyone know why there should be such a difference? Are the Moss and NTG cylinders better, or are they just taking us for a ride?

No Matt, But if that is a reflection of Brown & Gammons pricing, I wish they'd open up a store here! Do they have a web site? PJ

Hi PJ, Brown & Gammons web site is at http://www.ukmgparts.com I've not bought anything from them yet. For many items their pricing is comparable with Moss.

I think that some suppliers may price the rear cylinders at a similar level to the front ones, which seem to be rare and as far as I can determine were only used on T series MGs. The rear cylinders were also used on the MGA and some Triumphs and so are probably more in demand. Matt
