Alot of guys on the, www.oldgmctrucks.com website, have used these guys for brake parts. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .

The guy to have stainless sleeve your cylinders is:
Mark "the machinist" Frappier
82 Mountianview St.
Agawam, MA 01001
413-789-4588, or 800-528-5235
You send him your bare, stripped, clean cylinders, and he sends them back with a perfect looking stainless insert.
You will still need to go to NAPA and get rebuild kits, or perhaps Jim Carter sells kits?

There Federal Mogul brand.Curved, drilled, etc. Including rivets and a little shipping it cost me $75. I riveted them on myself and they have been the best liners I have ever worked with. Good Luck!

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | For that much money on the master you will be better off having the old one sleeved. Or a new dual circuit master and bracket.
Grigg | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 | Hey guys this comes up all the time with our Bigbolts, parts suppliers that have parts and don't even know it. How about we start a thread that cross references part numbers, as we find new ones we can add to it. It is amazing how many times we get told that is an obsolete part to find out later it is still used on some obscure vehicle today. Sure would be nice if we could do our parts shopping armed with 2 or 3 part numbers.
Can somebody that's good with things like that take this idea and run with it? I would but I am computer and organizationally challenged.
3B has the first number there (thanks 3B) and I remember not to long ago some wheel bearing numbers here somewhere. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 | I think we would have a good start by just rounding up the numbers that have already been posted and forgotten right here on the Bolt. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 165 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 165 | I have the 2 rear wheel cylinders NOS and I have NOS brake drums.

Stainless steel sleeving sounds like a hot upgrade. Do you recall the cost ? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 97 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 97 | this is just a test --please ignore or delete | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | I don't recall the prices, you should call Mark and ask. I do remember that the stainless sleeving is often cheaper than what new cylinders cost for older vehicles.
I think that the stainless sleeving is a great deal and value, and not at all over priced.
