Hi Alan, I've gone to NOS for all brake parts, even if it means using a
modern equivalent. The only exchange parts I used were Stainless Steel
Brake Co rebuilt units on the Shelby calipers, and even that was after
finding out exactly how they processed them.

Using stainless / CuNiFer lines and fittings on an older mil-veh can be
a problem if you are trying to match modern ends and fittings with DUKW
distribution 't's for example, as brass 't's tend to strip when used
with modern (very hard) stainless tubes and fittings. Nothing else for
it but to persevere and keep spares. I have to sort out unbalanced
front brtakes on the WC56 now, and the only reason for it I could come
up with is that one of the front cylinders may be the wrong way round
(dual bore size on WCs so only should be fitted one way.) regards,
Gordon 8-)
