I got my rebuild kits at Rock Auto Online ... they worked great.

Rudy Phillips has them-the are the new style which requires drilling a hole in the backing plate on one side, but he provides a template and instructions.

Larry Barker has the rubber cups if your wheel cylinders are in good shape. And he will send as many as needed in a package envelope US Mail.

I bought new wheel cylinders for the rear, and one for the front left from Kaiser Willy's and didn't have to drill or anything. On the rear, I did have to bend the brake line at a angle, but I put new ones on anyway, since the old ones were originals, and very rust. If your brake lines are rusty, replace them, they are cheap, and you can get them at your local parts store. I got my brake lines a o"rielly's. IF you do the rear, make sure you use a hub puller, not a drum puller to pull the drum off. Would love to see a photo of the car when your done.  :)
