I have 3 Silverstone cylinders that I have been using over the past 30 odd years I have been racing my Silverstone. The one I am currently using is now bored to 68mm but probably has a couple of seasons use left before it will need to be resleeved back to standard, assuming I don't have a blow up in the meantime that damages the ports. It has the number G1213 stamped on the top fin. Does anyone know what model this came from? I suspect it might be an RES part.
The other one that came with the bike I had resleeved here in Canada (using the Greeves factory drawing) many years ago but due to wear and various ring breakages has been bored to the point that the inner sleeve is very thin. I guess this could have the inner sleeve bored out and a replacement fitted to bring it back to standard? I expect I will have to send it back to the UK as my source is no longer in business here, any recommendations? That one is marked as G1088 and my RDS spares book confirms this is an RDS part.
The last one has no markings, is bored to 68mm and needs to be sleeved as the bore is worn. I don't have a cylinder drawing for the RCS showing port sizes to identify it, but I suspect that is what it is. If I have to crate up the RDS cylinder to send back to the UK for resleeving I will probably send this one at the same time so any recommendations on a UK supplier for this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Stan
