wheel cylinders for hydraulic brakes

[midgetracer]

Who makes quality wheel cylinders for 40-48 Ford brakes? I have tried Speedway with poor quality. Thanks for comments.

Here's an old, old thread. Seems like USA made are rare.

I got wheel cylinders for my '51 and '81 Fairmont from NAPA and the quality was good. They were made in China but, didn't have that cheap Chinese look.

The last ones I bought from Rockauto were perfectly serviceable. Master cylinder and flexible hoses too.

I have a set of brand new one's from Speeway on my project.
I noticed one leaking and replaced them with one's from Rock Auto as well.
The box said AC Delco on it, they work fine

Did a complete brake redo on my '47. Got a new MC,wheel cylinders and hoses from Mac VP. Everything worked and fit perfectly. And, Mac stands behind his parts and is a pleasure to deal with. Just my humble opinion!!

In some of the overseas versions

The problem with "off shore" parts is that the manufacturers were often just furnished a diagram. They didn't have a clue what they were making, so mistakes are common in fit and finish. We have seen them sold in bogus copies of USA boxes. We buy ours from NAPA or C&G.

Not sure how common it is, but the Rock Auto ones I have received are old stock U.S. made cylinders!
