Shawn, believe it or not, I got a good price for slave cyl at Speedway (Victoria VW dealer ). Chris who used to work at Bow Wow works in parts dept now and has his own semi-separate part operation. Last year I bought a slave cyl, german make (sorry can't recall exact brand) that was comparable in price to mail order. cheers alistair On 30-Mar-10, at 6:26 PM, Shawn Wright wrote: So, for those who deal with local FLAPs (NAPA, etc), what is a good brand of wheel cylinders to go with that they might have? For ordering from busdepot or other list vendor, what brands of wheel cylinder, shoes, and drums are acceptable? I think the drums are fine, as they were new OEM 70k miles ago and looked ok at last check. If I do replace drums, can bearing races be saved, or are new bearings in order? That would add a lot to the cost... Autohausaz (my preference as my parents are in AZ, and I need it there fast) has drums by 'OP parts', TRW or ATE cylinders, and Enduro shoes. Busdepot of course has a ton of options, so which are best? I just ordered front pads from them last week... but totally overlooked the rears... :-(
