NOS wheel cylinders (when boxed under the original part number) have the same numbers stamped as the originals and your lunch pail parts (I have many of these). Some linings were of course grooved, and some not. Also, a question: All original brake assemblies I have seen use two different hold down spring retainers. The top retainers have the depression for the end of the hold down pin. The bottom one (under the hold down spring) should have only a larger diameter round hole. Are yours configured that way?

Now you can die in peace !





If I die Bill, you will be the first I come back to haunt! I was extremely pleased (and fortunate) to find these as an assembly. I have no idea as to the washers under the springs because they have never been apart. They looked exactly like Steve’s 9000 mile Hemicuda setup so I was satisfied with their authenticity. The brakes have the single cut groove right down the center of the pad. They are not riveted!!!
