|
I have been reading and just want to confirm this before I order new wheel cylinders. I have a 53 with 4 bolt wheel cylinders on all 4 corner. From what I understand I can put on 2 bolt wheel cylinders with no modification. These are the ones I am looking at buying.

This swap is easy and direct and very common. 4-bolt wheel cylinder rebuild kits cost about $4 per wheel, it is a very simple process if you have core wheel cylinders

Cool. Just looking for a quick fix to get it running and driving for now. Its a big project and I won't be throwing away the 4 bolt stuff or anything original for that matter

I use Brake Material and Parts to rebuild stuff that is not common or unobtainium.

| Thanks for the tip on Brake Material and Parts. Some local places here that do hoses will not do DOT brake lines. |
