Just what I needed

The wheel cylinders were to replace retrofit units from somewhere else. These fit my 1936 Ford Coupe perfectly with no installation problems. It solved the problem of the previous units sticking. I would recommend them to anyone. [...]

Bought two and one leaked

I buy a lot of parts from Speedway. This is the first time I've had trouble. These front wheel cylinders were for original 1940 backing plates. The left cylinder's bolt holes were correctly machined. However, the large circular area did not fit the backing plate requiring a die grinder to open the hole. . . .Later, after initial bleeding, this right cylinder leaked (I need to return/replace this unit). On a positive note the new rears, right front cylinders and the master cylinder were leak free, fit and worked as designed. I can recommend the product but it seems there is a 1:5 gamble (in my case) if it will fit or work correctly.
