A brake cylinder is an important part of the hydraulics that makes up a car's braking system. This little device normally contains a piston which moves under pressure to push a brake shoe outward against the brake drum, stopping the wheel to which the drum is attached. In this action, momentum is converted into heat by the interaction of the shoe friction material and brake drum. Hydraulic brakes have evolved over the years into many forms, the most common being a disc system.
This cache container is an old rear brake cylinder from a 1955 Austin-Healey 100 BN2. The piston has been removed in order to store the log. Please use caution when removing the log and replacing the cap.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates but you'll need your brakes around the final location! In order to find the Healey's brake cylinder log, you'll need to find the Moss Motors part number for the "classic gold" wheel cylinder assembly. This is a part number of the form XXX-YYY.
Location is at: N 40 37.(830-YYY) W075 14.(3+XXX)
Bring a pen and have tweezers handy.
