I'm sure you know Racer sells a replica...but it lacks the "TOYOTA" which kills it, for me.
haha. It’s the $500 shipped that kills it for me!

Ive seen many with the slots and the person had the shoe in backwards. Zero clue.
So many ways to mess up something so simple but you can really tell when you are doing 4 wheel drums. Everything has to be spot on for those damn things to work
So what goes wrong if you don't reuse the old sloped slots on new cylinders?
I only learned about the importance when I started from scratch and rebuilt my 1967 FJ45 4 wheel drums with a single cylinder master.You might have less even wear on the shoe. It is probably less of an issue on rear cylinders, because both sides of the cylinder have a piston.
If they are working ......Guess I need to cut out some time to tear my rears apart and look for the old cylinders in my parts stash. I got new cylinders from Cruiser Outfitters and had to grind the slots a tiny bit wider for the new shoes to fit. I never considered just harvesting the sloped slots from the old cylinders.
If they are working ......
I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing... wait, I am laughing at you.![]()
you get done in just over a month what a lot of guys can't do half of in two, three years or at all. Also, you somehow manage to perfectly nail "the look" on every Cruiser you touch.
