L series drum brakes

Post by vincentvega » Thu Jul 13, 2006 5:13 pm

My old man is doing a few jobs on his 92 L wagon, one of them being replacing the leaking slave cylinders on the rear drum brakes.

He was told by an auto place that you cant buy replacement cylinders anymore you have to have your current ones rebuilt??? does this sound right?

Does anyone know a supplier of replacement cylinders?

or alternatively does anyone have a couple of spares that I can have rebuilt?

I am trying to avoid having the car off the road while the cylenders are rebuilt.
