WTB a complete set of 4 new wheel brake cylinders for a Series-1 car.

In case those are not available, will consider earliest other year set. Brake lines will have to be modified to match later sets, so the 1970-71 set is preferred.
Thanks.

Hi Frank.

Not only will the brake bridge lines need to be changed or modified, you will also need to change or modify the dust plate (sometimes called the back plate) that the wheel cylinders fit into. See attached illustration from MSA for differences. Trust me, I've gone through this exercise before.

You can still purchase original wheel cylinders from MSA at a very dear price of over $400 each :shock: . I would try to find a rebuilt kit and hone out the wheel cylinders. The '73 cylinders of course are way cheaper.

I still have the rear sections from car #4057, which still have everything in tack from control arms to struts and brakes. Do you need calipers and are they different?

I need 4 new or rebuilt cylinders, stock brakes, for a late 1970 car.
