67 fairlane brake ?
Hey everyone gotta a dumb question. I need wheel cylinders, drums, and shoes all around but there's eighty million different options and everyone wants bore sizes. What do i measure to get replacement cylinders. the diameter of it, the throw on the pistons? I don't get it but if someone knows please help cause i wanna get her on the road. I know cars but used to disc brakes which are way easier. Thanks
If you have the stock (old)brake parts, measure the fillowing:
Inside diameter of the bores in the wheel cylinders
Inside diameter and width of the drums.
Width of the brake shoes.
Different models had different size brakes. The parts stores today sometimes have measurements but don't always relate them to the specific model, ie, GT, Sedan, Wagon, Engine Size, etc. with the measurements you can check the parts at the store before taking them home.
