Guest Marshy Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi there,I am having difficulty locating replacement (new or new old stock) rear brake slave cylinders for a 1936 dodge sedan. The ones I have are supposed to be made from pressed steel and are too thin to hone out or resleeve. They are 2 size pistons each cylinder, being 1 1/8th inch, the other side 1 1/4 inch. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Silverghost Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Marshy:We call them brake wheel cylinders here in the USA !Not slave cylinders~~~I know exactly the type you need~~~There may be a Right and Left hand brake wheel cylinder needed?The smaller bore is for the primary brake shoe to contact the brake drum first~~~The larger cylinder bore is for the secondary brake shoe to contact slightly thereafter~~~Most replacments are in fact made of cast-iron/steel as the early thin steel units were often troublesome & not easily re-bult ! The term Slave cylinders are only called that for hydraulic clutches here . I should think that someone here should have the rear wheel brake cylinders you need !These pop-up all the time new-in-the-box at auto flea mrkets like Hershey etc. There may also be new reproduction units available out there ?Post in the "Parts Wanted Section" of the AACA forum here for best results ! Good Luck~~~I know you WILL find them soon !I will also do a web search for you !UPDATE: ! ! ! I found them for you at Hagen's Hiway Auto Parts~~~ $55.

sambarn Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Marshy, you may want to re ask that question in the general discussion section of the forum, the forum questions section is primarily for forum technical question like how do i post a pic, this looks funny on my computer, etc... You may get better comment. Also the Technical section has a lot of great mechanics lurking around to answer questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hchris Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Quite often see them on ebay, search parts for dodge 1936.Just done mine on a 1934 Chrysler, originally stepped bore as you described, had them sleeved straight through as others here have done without problems. Bit over engineered in the first place we think.Power Brakes SA here are good to work with, advertise in Just Cars etc. Jim Robinson in Vic. has a lot of Dodge stuff, not sure if he goes back that far.
