    I am redoing all the brakes on my Jeep, and was able to find the rear wheel cylinders no problem. I cannot seem to find the ones for the front. They are both marked 14203, the one of them was labeled Wagner Lockheed, the other wasnt labeled. They are 1", and the bolts for mounting them are diagonal, all the ones I see for sale have both mounting bolt holes on the top. The ones I ordered from vintagejeepparts for 1972 or so 11" brakes were quite a bit to big.

    Any ideas? Oh yeah, these are 11" drums, on a dana 25, that the previous owner swapped on.

    As always, thanks for the help,

    Doug

    might be worth a try... it looks like what you've got. i'd try local before i went out and ordered it though. but keep the price in mind. the local napa seems to want a good two to three times krage on most parts and it seems as though krage is strarting to have some issues from the buyers comment section....

    do the trucks have the larger brakes though?? forgot to think that one through before i posted.

    might try these guys.

    Call them up and tell them what you're looking for. I got my wheel cylinders for 11" rear drums from them. Even if it's not on their online catalog, they can probably steer you in the right direction.

    As I recall NAPA could get one type of Jeep cylinder and I needed the other type. Mine, like yours, is type with the rubber brake line coming into the cylinder at an angle. The type NAPA had came stright into the cylinder and would not clear the knuckle.

    Got mine (the offset type like yours) at :

    That was over a year ago - they probably still carry them.
