IML: '56 Brake Part Sources



Thanks to Kenyon for the answer to my brake part cleaning question.  I've got 
the rear drums in vinegar as I type.

A quick inspection of the rear brakes this morning indicates that wheel 
cylinders will need replacement and I'm going along with the suggestions from the 
list and will likely do all six plus lines etc.  Therefore I'm starting to look 
for sources and have gone through the suppliers listed on the website.  It 
looks like Kanter and Bernbaum are the primary ones listed that will have these 
parts but the reviews for both vendors are less than glowing.  My local NAPA 
shop can get everything but their a bit pricey:
Kanter - $260 (all W.C.s and M.C.)
Bernbaum - $280 (same)
NAPA - $400 (same)

Is NAPA likely to actually have the correct parts or would I be better off 
suffering with the poor service from Kanter or Bernbaum to be more likely to get 
the right stuff (and save some $$)?  (Actually Kanter is only an hour away 
from me so I could probably deal with them in person which might be easier.)

Also, once I spend all this time and money on this job, I'm planning on 
filling the system with silicone fluid to minimize problems in the future.  Any 
suggestions on brand or source for that stuff?  What's a good price?

Thanks,
Jeff
