Napa had the wheel cylinders in stock for about $11 bucks a piece. I also had to buy new seals as the existing ones were shot. I found out that for some reason the '54 uses a different seal than the '53 or the '55's. The seal in the '54 is National 6456 (Napa NOS17131 $14.99), I belive the 53 or 55 seal is National 5975. I confirmed the one year status looking at the Max Merrit website. They list a different part number for '54. The '54 seal is actually cheaper in price than the pre 53, 55 seals. Weird.



this is from Big Kev's blog. but i think it is flawed a bit....the oil seal i have is national 6456 and that was from Max's Website....so kev....how did you get these NOS17131 Napa ones to fit.....what did i do wrong? also i am guessing the napa ones are probably better as the national 6456 are a felt version and napa looks to be rubber.

thanks,
