Help required: Wheel Cyl. boot part# interchange

[Phil Waterman]

Hi

The wheel cylinder you are looking for were used on Chevy CMPs as well, so if you have can find cylinders that can be sleeved it may be a far better choice than replacing the existing cylinders with NOS or new manufacture.

I went over to sleeving my old cylinders after having to replace new ones which had pitted after 5 years. That was 30 years ago and the cylinders have never had to be redone since, just did a rubber cup replacement on recently on my C60S which as the same Ford cylinders you are talking about, turns doing a brake rebuild from replacing wheel cylinders or having to hone out the pits to replacing the rubber parts. Not bad for 25 years.

I suspect that you are going to find sleeving is more cost effective than ordering cylinders out of the US or Canada.

Cheers Phil
