So I got new wheel cylinders, rear shoes, and turned the drums and I'm ready to go. NOPE <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

First the wheel cylinders are not properly machined so the washers hit the wheel cylinder before it is secured in place and then I check the shoes in the drums and find that if touching in the center of the shoe that there is a .045in gap at each end. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> Yes I went to [email]Autoz@*&[/email] and I knew better.

It turns out that one of the wheel cylinders I took out was also manufactured like these were.

Anyway, I need a good source for parts that WILL fit as they should. It seems that nobody in town caries the parts so I will need to order no matter what, local or internet. Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks
