Just spotted this after I got my replacement right hand rear wheel
cylinder matched from the old.  Right hand side cylinder is 5/8" my
replacement as well.  Left hand side is 11/16", this is shot as well as
the old right.  I think this maybe could explain why I get the right
hand back wheel lock up with over enthusiastic braking.  

Anyway I didn't finally connect up my rear 5/8" cylinder, so I'll see if
the garage where I got it from want to take it back, in part exchange
for two new 11/16".   I am astounded that the braking test for the MOT
didn't spot the un-even braking! aren't you?
