You may find it easier to fit 1098 cylinders, requiring slight modification to the back plates but more readily available

Indeed the late TR7 9" shoes are almost identical - really only lacking the 'groove' in the end where the adjuster will sit on a Minor. You 'may' need to shave off any overhanging lining material at the sides.....one set I have as spares (for my TR7) are slightly wider than the other set where the lining material is exactly the width of the steel shoe. And not at all expensive from a TR7 supplier. Shop around though and check ebay !! Wolseley cylinders are available - (used on a number of other cars too...) but not inexpensive. The Minor cylinders are not difficult to fit and further spare are then assured!
