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.
