Does anybody have a source for leaking wheel cylinders that are all coming out of CHINA. My two cars... 40 ford and model A converted to the 40 lockheed style brakes all leak after a period of time. This is so frustrating, i have tried all the tricks and tips to make these wheel cylinders work... shortening the tip of the shoe where it makes contact with the wheel cylinder piston so it wont push the cup past the miss drilled port and cause a leak to bench filling the wheel cylinder with brake fluid so the piston and cup wont go beyond the port feed hole. Am i wrong in saying that this is caused by china junk? Any help or source for good quality wheel cylinders will be greatly appreciated.
