After honing my brakes, looks like they're still leaky. And thoughts on these found on eBay:

Or re-sleeve? What's the general price for re-sleeving?

Thanks in advance.

Thoses have split size inner . Your original are 1 1/4 straight thur . Hagen Auto Parts was about 70 ea . to do SS and  rebuild like new . Had him do my four and reline shoes in 2016 was under 5 hundred . Linings where bonded on not as original riveted . Do not know about lining hardness . Seems to have metallic in , think maybe should be softer  other may know more .

I am currently using these cylinders on my car.  I got them from Andy Bernbaum when he still owned the business.  They work for sure but the rubber dust covers are a little fatter then the originals and you may find that the hub bolts may rub a flat spot on them.  Just an FYI...

Same Parts a little cheaper.

Great thanks.

Maybe I'll just order those up on Monday.

Any tips for cleaning brake shoes? Maybe I'll just try and order those up too.

These guys do good work. You could call get a price on SS re sleeve.

Pictures from a few years back when I redid my whole brake system. They made the hoses, rebuilt the master cylinder and all the wheel cylinders sleeved with stainless steel.

Do you remember roughly how much that whole get-up cost to get resleeved?

I could probably find the receipt somewhere in the garage tomorrow. But I think it was just over $600. 620-630ish.

That was all of it. Summer of 2014.

I recently had my wheel cylinders and master cylinder sleeved and it was $50 for each wheel cylinder and $95 for the master,  not including shipping and sales tax.  They were completely rebuilt and ready to install.  They were sleeved with brass, not stainless.  Everything was replaced except for the pistons. 

abradney

Where did you get that done Russ?

Russ T. Fender

Apple Hydraulics in Calverton New York.  They have a web site but I don't know how add it to this reply.  I actually dropped my parts off there and picked them up.  Turn around time was less than a week.

abradney

I found them. Looks they resleeve with brass for $50 per piston, however you still have to supply the internals, so if my pucks are a little worn this may be no good. I may go with those $50 complete pistons mentioned earlier in this thread.

Thanks for the reply though.

Brake and Equipment did mine (as well as my shoes) and did a great job.  Their work is guaranteed.
