brake job

Post by cknight »

I think I will rebuild my brakes before spring. I would like to replace the shoes and also rebuild each wheel cylinder. What would be the current part number from someone like NAPA?

You will pay higher prices at Napa for the wheel cylinders and shoes rather than buying them from a MV dealer!

Also you may get fresher stock from a MV dealer. Sometimes things sit in the warehouse for years. I once got a valve cover gasket that I could swear was prettified wood.

I don't know about that...the wheel cylinders I got at NAPA were almost half the price some of the more popular MV dealers wanted for theirs...

Of course I may have been looking at the wrong MV dealers...
