Re: 83 Concord Wheel Cyl's

Hi Doc, I guess I gotta just bite the bullet and pay up. I can get 
them at Advance auto parts for $35 or a rebuild kit fo around $20. 
I'll take the old Cylinders apart and see what I got. The front 
calipers were rebuild about a year ago. And with new wheel cylinders 
and a rebuild master cylinder I should be good to go. Unfortunately, 
like the body repair. I going to have to put it off for a week or so. 
Thanks for looking into it.

Jeff

Concord sedan. I found that the sedan has 10" rear drums and the 
wagon has 11" rear drums. The wagon uses a Ford wheel cyl which the 
brake line comes in at an angle and the sedan uses a wheel cyl that 
the brake line comes in straight, why I have no idea. Anyhow after 
checking different parts books for 10 min. he found them listed for 
the sedan in the Bendix book. List price was 63$ a piece with jobbers 
cost at 36$. His advice was if you can get them for 35$ a piece grab 
them you aren't going to get a better price. If the cyl's on the car 
are not scored you could get a brake cyl. hone and clean them up and 
put kits in them. I have done this in the past, but with me being 
able to get new wheel cyl's for 12$ a piece it is not worth 
rebuilding them for me.
