Brake parts + pinion seal interchangibility 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be tedk on  Wed Sep 15 13:11 CST 2004 [RELATED]

As far as brake lines go. I'm nearly positive that the brake hoses were the same through all pv/duett model years. And i am currently replacing much of the braking system on my duett. I was able to find the rubber brake hoses available at both Schucks and Carquest. I'm not sure where you live, maybe out in the land of pepboys or some other chain auto parts store. But if they can find the three rubber lines for a 544 from 1963, those should work for you.

As for the wheel cylinders, I doubt you'll find those from a chain franchise. Even the rebuild kits would be hard to find, not to metion expensive. I'd take the cylinders apart, clean then up, maybe a light honing, to remove any corrosion, the take the rubber cups to a good auto parts store, and ask them for their wheel cylinder cup "bin" and look at what they've got, could be something of the same size.

Good luck. ted
