    Can anybody ID these crazy front wheel cylinders? I'd like to just repair/replace them (and fix the crimped line) instead of doing a major conversion, but can't find anything that looks similar. Are they vintage aftermarket? They don't seem to resemble any of the 40s hydraulic stuff I've been finding.
    The backs are all good, just wondering what they are.

    I believe you have an Ansen conversion of the stock Model A brakes, and cylinders are something like 1940 or '41 Chevy, used because they did not require separate adjustment system. Look for resto parts places for Chevy to get proper ID.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I've been looking in the wrong catalogs.
