I'm trying to order new wheel cylinders for my 65 comet and the I'm not sure which size to get. for the front the options are 1-1/8" or 1-1/16". I have the 10" drums, is one of these sizes paired with that? Or if I have to measure it, where do I measure?
If you have them off just pop out the rubber from the old one. The size will be molded into the inside of the cup.

There is no size printed inside the rubber, just "made in thailand" and a number that kragen and napa don't recognize. Does the 1-1/8" and 1-1/16" reference the size of the piston or the opening the piston is in? The piston is a little bigger than 1-1/16" and the hole is a little less than 1-1/8", but I just have a cheap measuring tape, not a micrometer.
