Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 401 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 401 | Is Jim Carter the only place that has front wheel cylinders? I've been looking all over the Internet, Raybestos and Cascade Friction. Raybestos does not even list a part number.
Suggestions??
Thanks.
Fred

I can look it up. George They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

They are still listed in my 1971 Wagner catalog, but a search of RockAuto revealed no parts found, same story when trying to cross the p/ns at Napa. I did find a wheel cylinder for a 1967 40 series that is the same size bore, and uses the same overhaul kit as the unavailable wheel cylinders, they are handed right and left where the originals were not, I have no idea if they would fit in your backing plates or not. A lot of times the handing is just the angle that the hose enters the cylinder, the Raybestos p/ns are WC19091 for the left, and WC19090 for the right. Both are available at RockAuto, but they only have one of the WC19090 left at $9.96 Can. dollars, hope that helps.

Being that those numbers are handed left or right, I wonder if Jim Carter uses those very parts and marks them up for sale on their site. At any rate I just ordered those from rockauto. We'll see what they look like when they get here.
Thank you very much to all of you that responded. I'll post up the results when I get them here and compare. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy fclaridge, thanks for the pic's, please keep us informed of your progress. If these wheel cylinders work out, it may make a good Tech Tip! | | |
