RE: [T3] Brake cylinders (rear)

["JOSE LUIS MALDONADO" <maroblll@coqui.net>]

Jim:
So far, I haven't checked on how bad they are.  All I know is that, out of
the blue, it began leaking (bad).  If they were shot, how much $$$ are we
talking about?  My zip is 00971, Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.
Thanks a lot!

I have a pair of those wheel cylinders that I just finished 
rebuilding. Your best bet would be to rebuild yours in place on the 
car, but if yours are shot, then I can sell you a good used pair. 
These are 15/16" bore, slightly larger than the later years which 
used 7/8"  and the earlier ones which were 1". These are for 
squarebacks.

I think the fastys always used the 7/8" bore.
