not the cheapest thing to do. if your in the melb area ? i can recommend someone to you . tell us where you are . coolaride 8) Title: Re: fe wheel cylinders Post by: craiga on April 01, 2002, 04:57:01 AM Rare Spares have 'em. About $85.00 a corner :'(
Shoes about $60.00-70.00 for front and back. If you are a member of one of the FE FC Clubs you should be able to get a discount. At a brake place you'll pay about $600.00-700.00 :o for renewal of all cylinders/shoes/and drum machining/labour. I have had success running a light hone through the cylinders, if there not badly corroded this will work. If the cylinders are pitted, they'll have to go :'( Good luck...

There is a company in Melb that re-sleeves master cyl, clutch cyl, wheel cylinders and calipers. They bore them out and resize them back to standard with stainles steel inserts I highly recommend them they have done resto work for myself a few times. Under normal use they will out last the arrig part, At one stage they where working on relining brake drums they had been testing them on a late ford ute, but i dont know how far they got with it. There prices are good compared to buying new specially the hard to find bits. I will find there phone No if it will help you. Steve.
