<VV> Wheel Cylinders Survey

[Frank DuVal]

I still rebuild most on Corvairs. Some are just too far gone. Newer cars 
get new cylinders, as they are very cheap (made in China...) and in 
stock locally.

I do have four Graham (1938) wheel cylinders that are too big in bore 
and need to be sleeved. I wish new ones were available!

And since you didn't ask, I also rebuild the GM single master cylinders 
and replace the duals. But singles that have the big rust pit in the 
bore get replaced.

If I was charging for my time, as in a real shop, it probably would be 
cost effective to replace even the Corvair wheel cylinders.
