Hello all,
I just finished a brake job on my 1949 DeLuxe Eight Touring Sedan, #2262/Chassis #2211, and thought I'd give a report of my findings on part numbers and availability, seeing as how so many have expressed desire to find local parts sources for their brakes.
Wheel Cylinders:
NOTE: Raybestos was the only manufacturer I found that claimed to be manufacturing their products somewhere besides China (their website says so, and it was confirmed via email by one of their Customer Service people). Be advised that EVERYTHING that I got from them WAS FROM CHINA! They also told me, via e-mail, that the inlets on their wheel cylinders were 7/16-20, which was how they were on the originals when my Packard was new. WRONG. They have 3/16-24 inlets, which, as a result, require an adapter to make them fit the hoses they sent. They ARE, though, the correct bore, length, and mounting diameter. They do NOT come with new push rods (not sure what else to call them).
LEFT FRONT WHEEL CYLINDER -
Original Packard # = 302948
Original Wagner # = FD2754
Raybestos # = WC13368
Bore = 1-1/16" (1.063")
RIGHT FRONT WHEEL CYLINDER -
Original Packard # = 302949
Original Wagner # = FD2755
Raybestos # = WC13369
Bore = 1-1/16" (1.063")
LEFT REAR WHEEL CYLINDER -
Original Packard # = 302950
Original Wagner # = FD2863
Raybestos # = WC370192
Bore = 15/16"
RIGHT REAR WHEEL CYLINDER -
Original Packard # = 302950
Original Wagner # = FD2863
Raybestos # = WC370192
Bore = 15/16"
HOSES (3) required:
Original Packard # = 315829
Raybestos # = BH4497
NOTE: The front hoses will need adapters to attach them to the front wheel cylinder. The hose for the rear from Raybestos FITS the rear perfectly, with no need for an adapter.
SPRINGS:
Brake Return (Primary):
Original Packard # = 303837
Raybestos # = H122
Brake Return (Secondary):
Original Packard # = 303836
Raybestos # = H130
HARDWARE KIT (2) required:
Raybestos # = H4094
NOTE: The pins that they send are TOO LONG! The originals are 2-1/16" long, and the ones from Raybestos are 2-5/16" long. You will need to research where to get the right length and what the correct part number is. ALSO - don't forget to get a small tube of hi-temp "brake grease" for all of the locations where there will be friction.
WHEEL BEARINGS:
Front, Outer (x2)
Original Packard # = 3379474
Timken Cone/Cup # = 12580/12520
Front, Inner (x2)
Original Packard # = 348640
Timken Cone/Cup # = 14130/14276
SEALS:
Front (x2)
Original Packard # = 329536
Timken # = 5836
SKF # = 17145
Rear, Inner (x2)
Original Packard # = 384121
Timken/National # = 472843
Rear, Outer (x2)
Original Packard # = 384121
Timken/National # = 471192
REAR AXLE GASKET KIT:
Original Packard # = 379822
(I got mine from Max Merritt - call them for availability)
MASTER CYLINDER:
My Packard had it's brakes redone several years ago, and they put in a Max Merritt reproduction Master Cylinder. I rebuilt it with an AC/Delco Kit #18G1228. Kanter and Max Merritt both carry a nice aftermarket Master Cylinder, I'm told.
SHOES:
My shoes were all in excellent condition, as were the drums. If yours are not, there are several places you can send them to, but the man I was going to send them to, if they needed it, is in Texas. He re-lines them, then he arcs the shoes to match the drums, which, if needed, have been turned. His contact information is:
BRAKE & CLUTCH SUPPLY
15156 S IH-35 SERVICE RD
BRUCEVILLE, TX 76630
PHONE: (254) 752-4307
Concluding comment:
I hope this helps someone. I don't know what other models/years these parts fit, but I had to do a TON of digging on this site to ascertain what parts I needed, and then jump through a dozen hoops to find where the parts were available. Maybe the next time someone is looking to rebuild their 22-series brakes, this will be a benefit to them.
