Default C15 Wheel Cylinders

We have to replace or rebuild the wheel cylinders for our 1944 C15.
Is it possible to buy replacement cylinders or kits to rebuild them.

I'll assume you mean a C15A? If so, the cylinders are just standard Ford wheel cylinders of the time. Rock Auto has the best deal for the cylinders, although for the Master Cylinder you are in for a little more work. That cylinder is a hard one to find, so you will likely have to have the cylinder sleeved and a rebuild kit installed. If you had a Ford instead of a Chev, then the master cylinder would have been easy.

Part numbers for the Ford Cylinders (as used on the Chev 4 wheel drive) are:

Raybestos WC4571 or a little cheaper is the W4511 (Centric) run between $32.54 and $34.97 each Cdn from Rock auto. Napa will charge you $70.55 retail, or approx 43.33 trade price.

WC4511 will run you $48.33 Cdn from Rock auto. If you go to your NAPA it will be retail $130.28/trade price approx $80 each.

Replacing or rebuilding wheel cylinders have never been a hard decision for me. I will take new ones whenever they are available.

Default Right in your own neighbourhood...

Hi Ed

If you need the master rebuilt try

www.johnstuartpowerbrake.com/

Located in Stoney Creek

They have a very high reputation with car collectors, military vehicle collection, etc.

Once the master is resleeved in SS they are good for a life time. He will also resleeve wheel cylinders..... definitely more expensive than new ones but the SS job will last a life time.

Good luck

Bob C

Default Sleeve the cylinders it's a forever fix

Hi Edwin

I agree whole heartily with Bob and Rob about going the route of having the brake and master sleeved. I'm just finishing a brake job on my C60S which was restored in 1990 using brass sleeved cylinders. All that had to be replace was the rubber parts.

Cheers Phil
