Re: [Amc-list] I-6 American rear wheel cylinders $8

>At Autozone Brakeware 33290.  7.99.  I measured and they are the correct 15/16".
 The only others I found were the Bendix brand at Kragen for 52.99  each!  
The brakeware brand is made in China and I don't know where the Bendix is made.
 Search your conscience accordingly.  But if your Rambler mentality would have 
you bore out that pitted cylinder one more time and maybe wind up putting your 
car into the wall. . . well, this may save you.
The website only let me find it by part number search and I had the same 
problem at the counter.  33290 is the correct number.
 
 
>Mike, there used to be guys in the Hemmings motor News magazine that sleeved 
the wheel cylinders with stainless steel back to the standard bore and made 
them like new again.  That beats buying Chinese made crap.

I looked into that but again prices start at 50 and go up to 80 per cylinder.
 I'm saving the old ones for "someday" resleeving.  I'm not saying it felt good to 
see the China label, but for some reason they've done a batch of an obscure AMC size
probably seeing a market inefficiency in the competitor's $53 price tag.  I thought I'd
bring it up, also so that when someone starts ebay-ing them for 40 bucks, you all
will know where it might be coming from.
