69 brake help ...

[fj hunter]

i have the original shoes front and back. I need a source of rebuild kits for the back brake cylindars.

And, i also need a source for the master cylindar kits.

Any ideas.

I ordered the fronts from our local distrubuter, but the slave pump cups were about 5 mm to small. i reused the old ones which were in very good condition.

i may need new return springs on the shoes.

something is hanging up in there, and the brakes lock up.

I was able to get rebuild kits for the wheel cylinders from napa.

I think Kurt from Cruiser Outfitters, has complete wheel cylinders for $30~.

Edit: But now you need to find out exactly what you have..

Wow you sure thats a 69? Or did you swap out the old single res. master for the dual/booster? I would try searching the vendors on this site or go with the front and rear disc.set-up.Thats what I am going to do on my 69.

OOps just read your sig. line and saw that it was a later model setup! Good luck w/the brakes.

For a front/rear (later model) fail warning light, which I doupt your '69 has.

If the PO didn't upgrade the brake lines and wheel cylinders right, that could be the root of your problems.
