Re: IML: 1957 Imperial turning lens Option

My 1955 sedan has yellow lenses in the tail lights that face forward allowing oncoming drivers to see the turn signals and also the brake lights. They are also visible in the rear view mirror so the driver knows what's working.

There is a '57 on Ebay with fender-top turning lights. These are the lights that flash back at the driver to show the signal. They are very common to later Chrysler products, but I don't think I've ever seen them on a car this old. I wonder if they're after-market? Check it out at:

You got it right. I would put some sil glide on the rubbers and in the cyclinders. Make installation much easy and just works better. Or at least some brake fluid in the cyclinder and on the rubber cups.

Subject: IML: 1956 Imperial WHEEL CYLINDERS

Im sorry everyone but I was tired and stupid last night when I asked the question about cylinders. What I was talking about were the Wheel Cylinder kits. The kits come pakaged so you can rebuild the front or the rears. The original wheel cylinders have an aluminum PISTON with the rubber boot made on the piston and then one spring. My question is what goes back in the cylinder from the generic rebuild kit? I would assume we have to use the original PISTON. The only thing I can see how to make them work is as follows.

Slide the spring in the cylinder.

Slide the rubber cup in the cylinder.

Slide the original PISTON with the Original rubber boot made on the piston in the cylinder.

Then of course the boot and link.

Please correct me if this is wrong. The cylinders have been honed and ready.

Thanks for any help.
