clamp

could u not use a thin wire tie? thats how my new cylinders came in the box.

 

Although I have A Pair

..I also use # 150 rubber bands , old coat hangers , string , lamp cord , pretty much anything you have handy will do as long as it holdsthe cups from popping out of the brake cylinders .

 

I made a couple out of old Oxy/Acetylene torch stikers cut the ends off and rebent them slightly. They work great and have tension due to the spring.

 

they make a tool to keep them together. its called a wheel cylinder clamp
