M3A1 Front Wheel Cylinders

Post by halifaxgroup » Thu Apr 05, 2018 3:48 pm

I need to replace the front brake wheel cylinders on my White M3A1 Scout Car. I bought two new wheel cylinders through NAPA, part number 4571. I got this number from a post here on the G503. Everything lines up except the pistons need to be the reverse pin type. Does anyone have a correct wheel cylinder rebuild kit number with the correct pistons?

It appears that part number FD-613 will work, but at $118 each there must be another solution. When I use that number on some of the commercial part websites, it brings me back to 4571.

Thanks in advance. Paul

Paul,
FD-613 is just the Casting Number. You need F-1430 Cylinder Assy., they are both for the Front on G-067 Scout Car and the Front for the Split Axle CCKW.

F-1430 has the correct pistons. Let me know if you can't get the F-1430.
