Topic: Rear Wheel Cylinders

[MWM]

Hello!
I have a nine axle with the 10x2.5 rear brake drums. What is the correct wheel cylinders to work with these drums? Thanks!

Sounds like you are referring to the early Shelby setup. If that's the case the standard Mustang V8 29/32" cylinders should work, that's what the 65-66 GT350's used. Ford part numbers C3OZ-2261-B and C3OZ-2262-B.

Some people believe the early GT350's used 15/16" cylinders since the 10x2.5" rear setup was sourced from the Fairlane wagon and that's what they had, but so far every 65-66 GT350 owner I've spoken with that still has the original rear cylinders have the 29/32" ones.

Thank you Dave!
That's what I needed to know. I mic'd mine out and they match.
