As an fyi, I just called White Post. For my '56 Windsor & 61G they would charge $225 per master and $95 per wheel cylinder. Also, they fully guarantee their work if you do NOT use DOT 5 and if you plan to use DOT 5, you should notify them in the order.

Wheel cylinders are pretty basic cast iron I would expect any that you find new would work . Be sure you are aware Rand L are unique .

I assume you have the pits in the bottom from glycol fluid left in too long ? Very smart to change them . That is a disaster waiting to happen . And not uncommon , happened to me . Water settles out the there once glycol is saturated with water , makes a pit under lip of seal . And that always happens given enough time . . Why Mercedes requires change of glycol brake fluid every few years . I ignored that as too conservative on an 80 300 TD wagon , cost me 2000 in brake parts rusted inside after ten years .causes leaks in drum brakes , stuck calipers on discs .

One of the main reasons I love silicone in our cars despite fussiness of getting in right .

Ideal for stored cars , it will not absorb water why military uses it . And rubber loves it .

If you shake it or get air in it you have to wait months . Really

I found large cans on line long ago military surplus .

We got the centric ones for a 1961 Belvedere and the lower fronts have the bleeders too close to the steering. Also, it took three different sizes of wrenches for the bleeder screws.

Hi everyone. Looking to pickup new wheel cylinders for my F. Found following sources and rough prices:

Andy Bernbaum - $40 ea

Rock Auto - Dynamic Friction $16.60/ea

Rock Auto - Centric $18/ea

MoParPRO - All six for $179

NAPA only has rear for $65

Anybody have any experience with any of these vendors for brake cylinders? Andy B. seems a bit pricey. Not sure if Dynamic Friction or Centric products are any good. Heard some negative on other Centric products. MoParPro is an unknown.

Thanks in advance.

Jim
