Original wheel cylinders
I just purchased a KK 12-bolt axle and it still has the original Delco Moraine wheel cylinders. where can I get these wheel cylinders sleeved/restored? Who has a good reputation that you all would trust?

Many here use White Post Restorations in VA, quick turn and never a problem.

Robert. You might want to consider doing these yourself. I did mine recently and they were fairly straightforward. As long as you can get away with a hone and not have to re-sleeve them you should be able to do it yourself. I purchased the rebuild kits from the local auto parts store - you are looking for a 15/16 inch bore, by the way. Total cost for kits and honing tool was less than $25. You can see from the pictures below what I started with…

Like Sam said, do it yourself. I went to Napa to get my kits and did mine, very easy and I even honed mine out a little. Soaked them in evaporust to clean them up also.

I haven't taken them apart yet but they are really rusty and have been setting for years. I have a hone and if they will clean up, that will be great.
White Post was on my list to call but I wanted to see if any of you could recommend them or another shop. Thanks for all the replies.

I did my front calipers and it was pretty easy. NAPA had the parts. I did my rears and they leaked so they are in a box now!!
