When I am looking for a hard to find part, I often go to NAPA Auto Parts online I'm not familiar with your Dodge chassis, but you might want to check their website out.

Good to see folks on that side of the water joining in. There are a few folks from Western Europe on the forum and a couple from Australia. Post us some pics of your travels in your part of the world as we always enjoy them. Getting over there is just a dream for a lot of us. Good luck on finding your part. 09 SuperDuty Crew Cab 6.8L/4.10(The Black Pearl) 06 Keystone Hornet 29 RLS/(The Cracker Cabana) amxpress • View posts Clayton, NC Senior Member Joined: 04/14/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/17/12 05:41am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator After reading your post again, I thought of something. If you are unable to find a wheel cylinder, perhaps the one you have can be rebuilt. They make rebuild kits and the cups inside are available seperately. They are probably easier to find, too. If you have a knowledgeable mechanic, it shouldn't be much of a job, providing the cylinder isn't too badly pitted inside. It is common practice, though, to rebuild both wheel cylinders at the same time. snowdance • View posts Yreka, Ca Senior Member Joined: 12/09/2010 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/17/12 06:19am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Welcome to the group. I can not help with a part #. But having restored many old cars I can tell you that if all else fails I get a rebuilt kits and take them to a machine shop where they bore it larger and install a sleeve and bore it to standard size. Take both rear if you do it that way. That way you get some thing you can rebuild for years. Snowdance We spent most of our money traveling... Just wasted the rest..

There were different weight ratings on the same basic chassis with different size brake shoes and matching wheel cylinders etc. Your parts house should list the bore and shoe size next to each pn# Here in the U.S. these parts are readily availible as dodge used the same basic brake system on 1 ton trucks well into the 90,s 1978 Chinook Concourse On A Dodge MB300 Chassis Heish • View posts United States Full Member Joined: 10/25/2011 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/22/12 10:30am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Crossfirerob, Hit your control button and the plus (+) button. This should make it larger. Control and minus(-) will reduce it again.

I still have to take the wheel cylinders off to measure the bore size , which means the van will be up on axle stands all week, waiting for a dilivery, oh well never mind . Isnt the print small on this forum, i can just about see it .
