Good to know and I was basing my comment on the parts exchange on this site. These numbers are listed as needing an adapter. Anyway, I picked up a pair of Centric brand cylinders at another store but got some kits from Napa just in case. I actually discovered that I had some new kits is stock but they had become brittle so obviously won't be using those
I didn't work as long today as I have been since going into town and back takes half the day. However, I did get the left front cylinder and hose installed but had lots of trouble with the hose. The clip that holds it to the bracket at the frame had the removal tab aimed aimed to the back of the car where it was impossible to remove due to the inner fender's notch for it having so little clearance so I ended up having to bend down the bracket, then force something under the side of the clip to bend it off. Fortunately I have spares but even so the hose connection doesn't feel quite right so I'll check it again tomorrow but eventually the fender is coming off anyway so I'll replace the line then with stainless..
At least this side already has the springs in the proper location but it appeared at some point that water had gotten into the drum. The varnish was intact on the shoes on the other side but this side had light surface rust, and a rust stain on the friction surface of the drum itself where a puddle had sat. A mystery since it's been stored indoors for nearly four decades and no leaky roofs! Also, the friction surface had odd marks on it.
