Wheel cylinders

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this topic has come up before... I would bet it has. Going to buy some new wheel cylinders for my 1952 Dodge Wayfarer. Who is a reputable seller with quality wheel cylinders? I would like to keep from spending what little cash I have on cheap junk. Thank you everyone in advance for your replies!

If you are up for rebuilding yours, I have kits for all wheel cylinders and the master I will send you for the cost of shipping. I swapped my rear end to a 8 1/4 and went with discs in the front.

My first suggestion is no purchase the NOS items if there is any possibility. That is why i listed the wheel cylinder numbers. You can look on ebay or even at swap meets to find these. Before buying Chinese or foreign junk I would suggest that you have your sleeved and then you know what you have and they will work on your car.  Look for NOS. This is why i have been collecting the catalogs and the parts over a 30+ year period for my 39 desoto.  every year as it goes by there is less and less of the good old NOS items. Build up some good quality parts to support your hobby.
