Title: Wanted: 51 Kaiser Wheel Cylinders
Post by: 84RabbitGTI on August 31, 2009, 09:52:40 PM
My mechanic tells me that he has to machine and sleeve the existing wheel cylinders unless I can get new or good replacements.  Anyone have any suggestions as to where to get replacements?  Thanks for leads!

You can alos get wheel cylinders at NAPA or Carquest. Be advised right front wheel cylinders apparently are no longer available that fit the original K/F bolt holes and you have to use a little template Mike will send you to drill one or two new holes in the right front backing plate depending on what your car may have. I have had to drill both a single hole and two holes on my K/Fs. Must be careful to line it up very well; I got one hole off some and had to ream it out and use a larger washer behind the nut.  Here are the P/Ns:

Thank you for this.  My mechanic was kind of baffled on this one. We were talking about a disc brake conversion, which I don't have the $$ for just now.  Not an option at present.
