Guys & Gals, Where can I order wheel cylinders and brake shoes for '40 Ford brakes?? I searched the HAMB with no luck. Thanks ~Eric
I got all that from Macs but decided not to use the ****py Lockheed stuff and I used Bendix parts instead
This guy has them ... http://www.dennis-carpenter.com/cars.php and a LOT of other 40 Ford goodies ...
News flash! The front wheel cylinders for the 39-41 Ford brake system for p***enger cars and pickups haven't been available for years, except as NOS or NORS parts. Ford replaced them with the cylinders for 1942-48 in the 50s. The 42-48 cylinders are available new at your local auto parts store and through any early Ford V8 parts supplier nationwide. The rear wheel cylinders which fit all 1939-48 Ford p***enger cars and 1939-47 Pickups are also available as above.
I see your in "jersey", theres a place in queens long island ny, called Joblot, by belmont race track.I've been there and they have a warehouse of parts, for early fords.I know jerseys big but if your close to the island , i have a cat. from them will get you the address and phone # .
NAPA and CarQuest both can get them - check the Tech Archives for brake posts - there's a list with part numbers done by DMarv (I think)
I recived a email from Obsolete Ford Parts in OK , and they have wheel cyl. on sale this month for $37 each front or rear and brake linings for $35 a set later kb

Thanks for the 40's brake cylinder part numbers , was looking yesterday for those parts for my 40 ford coupe ,,,Sam
Ive got a Carquest hose that works well also, PN SP191. Not sure of the overall length, but my notes say it is 3" longer then the stock 1940 hose.
that post was from feb of 09 I doubt he is going to get anything from them or already learned the hard way. thanks for the heads up tho. I had no idea.
I know this is an old thread, but will take this opportunity to re-iterate the above advice. I personally learned several hard lessons before I came to my senses on sending real money to the OKC guys, expecting GOOD stuff (or GOOD service) in return. DD
