 |
|
| I'm picking up a '53 M38a1 that has an 11" brake conversion. The Jeep is going to need wheel cylinders due to sitting a long time. How do I tell what the wheel cylinders (and the shoes and drums for that matter) came from? |

The wheel cylinders should have numbers on them that can be cross-referenced. If not, you can measure the bore and length of the wheel cylinders and width of the brake shoes. napaonline.com is a good place to search since it allows searching by part type and size. Some part stores still have means to look something up by size.
Hope this helps,
Marcus |

| Hi good luck with the brakes rather rare. I took my shoes to an industrial brake reliner and he relined them . I could not get shoes from any suppliers here in Canada or the USA. My cylinders were good so all turned out well . You can still get Wagner master cylinders and new spring kits Cheers Rob |
