The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts new here, need brake help 59 Viking 40

Hi all. I have a 59 viking 40 that needs everything new when it comes to brakes. New MC, wheel cyls, hoses...

I am from the Netherlands so I have to order these parts in the US. Can anyone give me a rundown on part numbers I need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Marck

You can check around on this site and get a lot of help.
If I look in the Shop Manual it seems you have the same brakes as I do on my 59 Viking, but mine is a 60 series.

I asked around here and got advice to check with alretta truck parts.

Mailed Geoffrey there and he asked a couple of questions. After that I ordered both a new Hydrovac unit and a new master cyl.

Next year I had to replace right rear wheel cylinders and also bought adjusting kit from him.

He has everything you need for sure, just mail him and ask.

I want to order from rockauto preferrably so I can combine with other parts I need.

Hy Twin_Turbo, the following are Raybestos numbers and prices are from RockAuto in U.S. dollars. A little explanation on the front wheel cylinders, the originals are no longer available, back in 2012 fclaridge was looking for them also. I suggested that he try the p/ns I'm giving you, which he did and photo documenteted their installation. The only difference between the two wheel cylinders is the angle that the hoses attach to the wheel cylinders.
Master cylinder MC21698 $127.79
Front wheel cylinder left WC19091 $18.01
Front wheel cylinder right WC19090 $11.00
Rear wheel cylinder reverse WC18197 $27.79
Rear wheel cylinder forward WC18196 only one left @ $3.79
Front brake hose BH36548 $16.53
Rear brake hose BH25664 $27.79 this is the hose for the H.D. rear axle, as they showed no stock for the standard rear axle hose p/n BH4492.
You will have to order two of each of the rear wheel cylinders, and as you can see they only have one of one of them left in stock, also you will need two front brake hoses, hope that helps.

Nicely done 3B!
