Rear wheel cylinders
Hi all, I want to buy new rear wheel cylinders for my chrysler Cj & was wondering if wheel cylinders from an American mopar wheel fit & therefore available in uk ? As far as I can tell my original part number is 2265577. Any help appreciated thanks Shaun

Re: Rear wheel cylinders
There are loads of different ones. Best bet is to look on Rockauto at cars of similar age and cross reference the part number. If you're lucky you see other vehicles it fits.
No-one will believe you...
Re: Rear wheel cylinders
I just had a look, that part number isn't recognised. I seem to remember from my Aussie Charger that the brakes were unique to Aus, sorry!

Hi thanks for looking but I thought that'd be the case. There's a place in oz selling them on eBay but wanted to get them over here in case they're wrong. Thanks again Shaun

According to the ones for sale on eBay.au the part no is 34876 which is listed in most USA spares shops so I'll be on the phone tomorrow!

Re: Rear wheel cylinders
All done ! Went to my local factors with part numbers & found they also fitted to some chrysler voyagers ! So they had them in stock £10 each, also bought some 3/8 unf unions so I've renewed both rear axle brake pipes in copper whilst it was apart. Thanks for replies shaun

That is a great result, would like to have known that a few years ago. I had to modify Ford Escort rear cylinders for the VJ Charger and smeone else modified Mini ones to fit.

Re: Rear wheel cylinders
Yes I was happy ! I just looked up aftermarket cylinders in oz then cross reference the part number. Some voyagers use 3/4 bore but my number crossed to the ones with 13/16 bore which is same as mine so happy days

Re: Rear wheel cylinders
Great result. Just out of interest, is 3/8" unf the standard size for brake pipe unions? I want to get some spares as I always tend to use the old ones off the old pipes when I make new ones. Would be nice to drop new unions on. Are they the same into the back of the flexhoses and axle block too??

Re: Rear wheel cylinders
Hi Steve 3/8 unf fit the rear wheel cylinders & the brass connecting block on the rear axle which connects both brake pipes to the flexi hose. If buying unions make sure you buy the short ones which are threaded right to the end as I found the long ones have a none threaded portion & aren’t suitable! Thanks Shaun
