I tried the search and did not come up with anything. NAPA and the other parts house in town were unable to come up with anything other than a possible rebuilt kit. I have had not had much luck with rebuild kits so I would rather go with complete replacement cylinders. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 165 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 165 | Get Napa to get the paper book from under the counter, also get the number off of your cylinders and track them that way. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 502 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 502 | You might consider sending them out for rebuild. I sent mine and had them sleeved with SS, which will also improve their lifespan.
The cost wasn't that much over new ones.

They have the rebuild kits for around $18.00. My dad took off the right one and it is not scored inside. We are going to run a hone through them and try the rebuild kits. The old girl is actually a fire truck that I have had in storage for 10 years awaiting a time when I had the time and money to restore and put back on the road. Now that the kids are gone and I am retired, now is the time. Will try to figure out how to add pictures some day.
Thanks again to all who answered.
