On my m38a-1......front axle......dana 25.....wheel brake cylinders. There are two cone shaped inserts (one in each end of the wheel cylinder) that have a slot in them to engage the brake shoe. Are these parts still available.....or are they standard parts that can be purchased from any auto parts place? Likewise......right behind these cones (but inside the rubber cover) there are two aluminum pistons that the brake fluid pushes on to actuate the brakes. Are these pistons still available...or again....are they standard 1" parts available at any auto parts store?

This may all be mute since I opted to go with new wheel cylinders.....but its unclear whether the new cylinders come with the pistons and/or cone shaped devices......and I'm such a darn pack rat that after honing the old cylinders now I'd like to rebuild them for spares.

Thanks,
Jim

How much you get with the new cylinders depends on the manufacturer. When ordering a replacement wheel cylinder assembly you will usually get the wheel cylinder with the end rubber cup seals and all that is hidden inside those two seals.


What you see here usually comes with the complete cylinder. But occasionally the bleeder is missing.
