Thanks for the information.  I'll give KFparts a try.  I hoped someone would know of 'off the shelf' kits that would work, but I'll give these folks a call.

I appreciate the information.

Does anyone sell new wheel cylinders for a Kaiser deluxe, or is it a question of getting repair kits for the existing ones?

My car is a 1953 Kaiser Deluxe.

Any help on this gratefully received.

The rear wheel cylinders are both leaking fluid.

Use the link above and select wheel cylinders from the left navigation. New cylinders are available.

Done, thanks!

Now I just have to wait for the parts to wing their way across the Atlantic to London......

I clicked the link above and I don't see any brake hardware listed for anything but a Henry J. Now when I say "brake hardware" I mean the pair of return springs that go inside the drums and operate the brake shoes. Matter of fact, I don't see such a kit listed anywhere. I've checked Napa, the link above, Rockauto, and looked at Rudy's KF Parts list. Where do you guys with cars other than a Henry J get your brake shoe return springs?

I wish I would have searched for this thread earlier(mental note added) to check out kfparts... Searched for the spring kits in the system and even tried all the various parts illustrators and nothing was close. Found the closest match with a Willys lookup which were the same.
