1940 Dodge wheel cylinder source

[Dennis]

We need new wheel cylinders for our '40 Dodge.  We see some listed on Ebay from moparpro.  Does anyone know if moparpro and Andy Bernbaum are the same company?

[Plymouthy Adams]

they are not......now if they have the same supplier....I cannot say...

go to NOS stock the older not new production crap either Wagner or EIS manufacturer. Or have you old one brass sleeved.

Problem with NOS is that the rubber from that long ago is likely compromised.  Needing a rebuild anyway and at that point having your original stuff redone might make sense.

Rebuilt old WC is better than catalogue fare.

Sniper yes the rubber will need to be replaced you can cleanup the internals very easy.  BY getting NOS not Current old Stock you will be getting a better made unit. and not the crap that they try to passoff as NOS.  When I purchase the real old NOS brake parts i alwasy clean them and look at the internals to make sure there is no melted rubber from the cups, if found then I pass these up. They have to be clean. Just use your judgement on condition.
