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.
