Does anyone have a part number for Wheel Cylinders on 11" Brake Drums ?

I have a 69 Superbee (A12) that has 11x3 drums from and back.

All is good except for wheel cylinders, I can only find cylinders for 10" drums.

Any help is appreciated.

Been a couple of years but to what I remember I used these if your bore is 15/16. May want to call them and confirm its for rear drum if you also have drum front.

mopars4ever pointed out something I didn't know

The 10 and 11 inch drums use the same wheel cylinders.

Obviously the Front and rear are different sizes, and each front cylinder is left or right, but the cylinders are the same for both 11 and 10 inch systems.

Interestingly cool information. up

You should have 11 x 3" front drums and 11 x 2 1/2" rear drums.

I may have a pair of NOS from the 80s in my spare parts pile. I had 4 wheel drums on the RR before switching to all disc. These would be not be mopar but something you got over the counter. If you are interested let me know and I’ll look for them.

If attaching size is important to you be aware that from Rock auto some of the wheel cylinders have smaller attaching bolts.

This is exactly what I ran into.....the new ones I bought from RockAuto were 3/8" bolt heads, the originals were bigger (probably 1/2" but I couldn't find the old ones quickly). Still debating whether to go ahead and use the smaller attaching bolts or roll the dice and buy different ones from a different retailer.

I found out after I had both backing plate assemblies built on the car.
I saved the old cylinders, when I have time I will restore them and re-install them. You may want to consider rebuilding yours.

Besides that, they were fine.
