Re: Brake cylinder needed!! Urgent!!

[amcnut@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I needed wheel cylinders for a Spirit with 9-inch brakes a while back. Found some new cylinders at NAPA, but was unwilling to pay almost $50 each for them. Bought two rebuild kits and a brake cylinder hone instead for about $15. Rebuilt the wheel cylinders and they've been running for about 2 1/2 years with no problems.
