Regarding the wheel cylinders, at the time of getting them reconditioned I was unable to find any the same size locally. That doesn't mean there weren't any, I just couldn't find any then and there. While there are a fair few American cars are on the road over here (only 3 '56 Patricians, including mine), mostly our late model cars are locally manufactured or imported from Asia and Europe. I personally don't know of any that use the same size wheel cylinders as my Patrician. In any event, getting the originals re-sleeved didn't cost much more than new ones would have and the turnaround time was quick. As I had the part #'s at hand, I put them into the cross ref to help anyone else who might want to know them. Unfortunately, they didn't help me find new replacements when I went looking. John
