I am just overhauling the braking system on my 1966 Morris 1000.
The rear sliding wheel cylinders do not appear to have any method of securing them to the
back plates.I am sure I have had similar set ups with a circlip
holding the cylinder in position.
Non of the list of suppliers seems to list or show this item,is it required?
Many thanks for looking,
Martin.

Re: Wheel cylinder
No, the rear sliding cylinders are held in by the pressure of the brake springs and by the handbrake cables and piping/ union etc, they do not come out as the rear cylinders are removed by withdrawing them from inside, with the drum removed, shoes, adjusters and pipes and handbrake cables removed.
No need to worry, they slide but won't go anywhere with everything assembled.
