    We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty,and some are dull.Some have weird names, and all are different colors. But they all have to live in the same box.

    Re: Anyone have experience with Kanters Brake Kits?

    I have used a lot of their brake parts but no kits. They are good quality and fit well. I had one problem with a RH brake cylinder packed in a box labeled for a LH cylinder but they resolved it with no hassle at all. I recommend Kanter; they are not always the cheapest but I have found them to be reliable.

    No kanter is not the cheepest, but yes they do stand behind there warr. You might be better off going to napa or such for the parts, as some of the parts may still be current, just have to find the wagner or such part #'s help... my 54 Packard's wheel cyls are the same part# and casting# as the original ones but they also fit a ford f150, had them the next day..

    Why don't You try RockAuto.com. They sell Raybestos and their stuff is very good and inexspensive. Go to their web site and you can find a lot of parts. I was surprised how much they have for a 1955 Roadmaster.

    I bought brake hoses and wheel cylinder for a 68 Wildcat. Five years later no problem. I would recommend them.

    Another vote for RockAuto.com. I've gotten parts for my '53 Super from them. Fast and Inexpensive.

    Re: Anyone have experience with Kanters Brake Kits?

    I did have one negative experience with Kanter. I recently bought rear springs for my 56 Super, and after installation, I was not happy with them. They were too light for the car and the rear end sagged considerably. I returned the springs, and found out that it cost me $8.00 to do that while I paid $11 to have them shipped to me, and then even though they refunded the cost of the springs, they did not refund the cost of shipping.
