Wheel cylinders - which ones?

I know this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.

Does my 1989/G Scala (i) need the wheel cylinders for a car with or without a brake pressure regulator?

I can't really go and take a look as the car's 5 miles away.

Oh.... can anyone tell me which brake parts I need to order 2 of, and which come in pairs (I always end up with twice as many as I need of something, but I can't remember what - pads, discs, brake drums & brake shoes)

Pads, discs and brake shoes come in pairs. Brake drums come single. Rear wheel bearings come single. Rear brake cylinders come single.

I got the rear brake cylinders with the larger piston bore.

discs don't always come in pairs, annoyingly. ring up and check ;)

Thanks, I'll order the cylinders to go with a brake pressure regulator and hope they're right. I ought to have a look through the boxes of bits I have and see what I've already got by way of pads/discs etc.

Wheel cylinders, i always go for the larger bore ones for cars with pressure regulators.
