Post by PROUD ROADSTER OWNER »

I'm going to buy some new rear wheel cylinders for my 1969 SPL 311 1600 Roadster and was wondering which vendor has the best quality for the price ? SO FAR STAN CHERNOFF HAS A PRICE OF $ 100 DELIVERED !! HAS ANY OF YOU HAD SUCCESS IN REBUILDING YOUR OLD ONES ? ANY OPINIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!! THANKS DON !!!!

How much is your life worth? Most rebuild kits don't hold because the cylinder is pitted from lack of maintenance. When it comes to brakes I always buy new parts for assurance.

I believe I got mine from Rod's for $30/each in 2003.

I also ordered some new brake lines along with that order too... 3 total lines in all - 1 rear, 2 front.

Dunno what there are going for now.
