Need recommendation for 1967.5 rear brake cylinders

Post by Cary »

I have noticed a leak in one of the rear brake cylinders.
My guess is that I could rebuild both rear wheel cylinders if a kit was available with the rubber parts.
I do have a wheel cylinder hone.
I would like to do both sides of the car while I'm at it.

Can anyone recommend a good source for rebuild kits?
Thank you!

Go to the vendor list, Karps re-sleeves the wheel cylinders and master cylinders. They do good work and have been around for a long time.

Ppl I sent my calipers & master to Karp’s & was not impressed. They took almost a year, they stripped the stop hole on the master & 2 of the 4 front pistons leaked because they used oversized seals. If I had to do it again, I’d go with Brian @ Sin City. I am now using both clutch & brake masters from Brian & I got correct kits from him for the calipers.

I'm sure a vendor or two here [ VENDOR LIST --> app.php/page-vendor-list ] have rebuild kits.
The vendor list can be daunting at first but it's good to peruse them all anyway so you know roughly who carries what product.

Hi Everyone, just an update to thank you for your suggestions. I was able to purchase the parts I needed from Sin City Datsuns (Brian Zana)!

The parts fit perfectly. I appreciate all the help that I get from this Forum!
