Where to buy wheel cylinder for 75 FST FJ40 (1 Viewer)

[kmj64]

Needing a little help, I have just bought a 75 FST FJ40 and want (need) to replace the front and rear brakes. Looking at the usual places - SOR and CCOT they seem to be pricey, but maybe worth it. Is I've shopped the local parts stores and they don't carry them - Auto Zone and Oreilys. Any help is appreciated, I'm in the San Antonio area and my brother Centxfj60 is helping

Won't trust ccot stuff if it's not sheet metal.

to add I'm looking for brake cylinders, sorry i did not mention that in the previous post

Brake cylinders are important and many people have had issues with aftermarket cylinders. If you can get OEM, go OEM. PM Beno about them.

Have you considered to send yours to be bored out and a stainless steel sleeve installed. That's what I am planning on doing with mine.

Haven't installed mine yet but I got Japanese aftermarket from Cruiser Outfitters. @cruiseroutfit should be able to take good care of you!

Is there a reason you don't rebuild yours? I would do that. If not, try @dieselbj42.

This and rebuilding my knuckles is my next big project.

Wow, thanks much for all the info. Looking into all the options.

To name a few ... It all depends on what you need

Vendor area: Vendor Forums | IH8MUD Forum

@FloridaFJ80 has new or rebuilt tubs

With that said I do buy somethings from sor.com as well

I ordered mine from RockAuto.com. Cost me less than $20 a piece. I know people will say to go OEM or rebuild yours, but for less than $20 each I went with aftermarket and have had no problems at all with my 4 wheel drum brakes. I replaced the master cylinder too from there as well. Just cleaned everything up and installed new cylinders. Brake adjustment wasn't that bad either. I jacked up the truck, spun the wheels and adjusted accordingly until they felt snug. Stops straight, doesn't pull to one side, and I've had them on for a couple years now.

Thanks for this suggestion, who will you send yours to?

Master Cylinders Sleeved - Stainless Steel Brake Cylinder Sleeving


Karps Brake Service-sleeving

Here are a couple companies that do the stainless sleeving. Do not know anything about either company. I also plan on sending my master cylinder, clutch cylinder and slave cylinder. I expect it will be at least $750 by the time everything is done. Now add buying all new parts and the cost is similar. With stainless sleeves they will never get rusty and leak again.

thanks much, i will look into this. My plan is to do a frame off this FJ. I want all the work to be 1st class
