Hold that thought Max, it appears a source of brake parts has been found. After traipsing around all the regular auto parts stores, I tracked down an old boy in Denton, Texas who restores vintage vehicles and who told me he knows of a source of vintage brake parts. (He was doing brakes of a '40s vintage DeSoto as we were talking). He directed me to the owner of the NAPA store who promptly brought up a picture of my wheel cylinders on his computer. A company in Ohio rebuilds them and has 32 listed as still available at the factory. I'll post the parts number once they arrive and I verify that they are the exact ones needed. Further, he knows of a business in Dallas that relines brake shoes, so they will going out on Monday. I'll keep everyone up-to-date as the parts start rolling in. Derek.

...when he first learned to drive, the way one stopped one's [auto]mobile was to stick one's feet out through the floor and drag them on the ground. To accelerate one began to run in place until said [auto]mobile began to move again.
He's really not much father ahead than that, so don't worry too much if you can't find what he thinks he "needs"... ![]()

It sounds like he went to the Fred Flintstone driving school.
