I recently followed a recommendation from a forum member and sent my old wheel cylinders off to Automotive Brake and Auto Re-conditioners in Silverwater.

Peter from there was awesome to deal with ...and he once owned a EK ute!
I thought he was very reasonable with the charges and i saved a lot more having them stainless steel lined and new seals (plus new nipples, blasted and zinced), over the price of new cylinders. He also had three new hoses made for me which worked out better than any I could get online.

I live out in the bush so theres no local places that can do this sorta stuff ... very happy!
:peaceout:
