there's only two brake cylinders on the front of a splittie? or did you just replace two?

Murray is sitting on his own tires after having both of his front torsion springs replaced, a new metal brake line, two new front brake cylinders, and I don't know what all.I did all this because my passenger side was always low and my tire rubbed with hard left turns or dips, or with anyone in the shotgun seat.After a sag of almost two inches I can report that now the sag is only 3/4". I am pissed that it isn't more level, but it is improved. I won't know the real paractical result until I get the bleeders that were left out of the box with the new cylinders.----- Original Message ----- From: sammie smith To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 8:34 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: thinkin' about a shorty Speaking of Denis: How's the front end work going?
