Question 46-48 Wheel Cylinders

[Rude Dude]

Are rear wheel cylinders same as fronts on 46-48 Fords?

[Elrusto]

No. The rears have seats in them that the steel brake line seals against.

[Rude Dude]

Can they be used in front

[Elrusto]

BUT........I have used rears on the front with rubber lines that had a tapered seat in them. Normally the fronts seal with a copper washer.

[Rude Dude]

Thanks a bunch, I just got to find some front brake lines with seats and cooper gaskets. You wouldnt happen to have a part number?

[Elrusto]

It seems like the ones that Raybestos sells had the seats in them. No need for the gaskets if you do it like that.

Anybody else got input on this?
