Rebuilding the brake system on the RR, wondering which manufacturer I should go with for the rear wheel cylinders?

When I rebuilt the brakes on the 68 Charger, I went to Oreilly's and bought their wheel cylinders. They had a lifetime warranty and since I put them on several years ago, they have given me zero issues. And the price is right.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately there are no Oreilys remotely close to me.

If you are willing to order online here is what Rock auto offers.

Hmm my link doesn't take you there. But brands AC Delco Wagner and Raybestos all very inexpensive and probably all made by the same company.

I bought some from AutoZone and they were not machined correctly. After 40 minutes of frustration I noticed the bolts were not drilled in the right spot. Chinese Special. So I went online to eBay and found Rick Mopar Actions eBay site and bought good ol USA made ones for about 35 bucks a pair if I remember.

Chinese wheel cylinders Green marks so how bad the holes were off.
