11 inch drums Best guess rears 15/16"? or 31/32"?
Fronts 1 1/8?
pretty sure it had a 1" master cylinder non power assist
Really want to leave it together until I get the parts to fix.

much thanks

What model?

EDSEL had it's own unique parts book. While the '59 was built on the '59 FORD platform, it is hard to say what wheel cylinder sizes you have.

You will need to go aftermarket (which is fine). Just make sure the parts are USA and quality. Or if you are into authenticity, yours can be refurbished.

The rears, right?

Usually to get the correct parts (maybe), you need to know the drum diameter and shoe width. And possibly trim level/engine size.

Don't let this discourage you from coming back. Someone will help as best as they can. I just hate taking wild guesses. It usually bites me back.

That's ok, I knew it would be an educated guess and I was too lazy to pull them first because I didn't want parts everywhere in the shop. I like to start a job and finish it.
I bought the kits and the cylinders also in case the kits didn't fit. I'll take the cylinders back next week. I live 35 miles from the nearest parts store.
