DUKW Wheel Cylinders
Just replaced my 4th wheel cylinder since I got this in 2012. I've done both fronts and two of the rears. Who can rebuild these with the stainless sleeve inserts? Or am I better off just buying more of the newly made that Rex W has?

Would NOS Delco Rear wheel cylinder housings work?

Hello,
A company called White Owl Restorations used to advertise they installed stainless steel linings into wheel cylinders. They use to advertise in Hemming s Motor News. I have never used their services.

Re: DUKW Wheel Cylinders
I found quite a few companies that resleeve in stainless thru the antique car community. Will be over $100 per cylinder. Also found new Wagner cylinders are available thru Napa and others for about $35 each. The original GM part numbers 5451212 for the front and 5451214 cross to current Wagner numbers, the front is W3406. I think I'll just keep my old cylinders and buy new Wagner's as needed. I've never had any luck rebuilding old cylinders and after spending an hour and $ on a kit just found it easier to buy a new one.

Re: DUKW Wheel Cylinders
Are the threads for the hose adaptors on the new front cylinders at an upward angle? $35.00 sounds too good to be true.

Re: DUKW Wheel Cylinders
The Wagner number was a direct cross on their computer and is the number I get on the net when I do a search of the original GM number. I'll go ahead and order one and see what I get. If I order it tomorrow they should have it Friday...As an aside, the cylinders I got from Rex are labeled "made in Taiwan" and have part number 1308 on the box. They have the angled connection for the hose.

Nice to know that front Banjo Wheel Cylinders with correct inlets are out there.
