Hi Brad,

I got my 4 new wheel cylinders from rare spares.  Brand was Protex.  I guess time will tell if they have moisture problems in a year or 2.

Power Brakes in Adelaide (formally of Parade Norwood) can resleeve with stainless could be better long term.

Peter.

I know a place in Tamworth NSW that can re-sleeve in stainless and supply new cups  for around  $50 each.

They will last longer than repro or NOS ones and it will be only you that will know that they are re-sleeved ones and not NOS ones.

I have some done by this place in my FB and they did a good job.

Unless you can get a wholesale price you will find repro ones will be dearer than $50 each and "if" you can find any NOS ones they will be dearer again.

Cheers for input
