Thanks Go, I was hoping to go cheap since I will have to pay for the sleeves anyway. I can take the car off the road for a few weeks and just send out the cylinders that are on it. I drive it as much as I can; had it out in the snow for the first time a few days ago. It actually has better traction than my Hyundai with traction control and all the electronic stuff.

Its been a long, long time since I drove my '33 in the winters of upstate New York but I recall that it was a lot better in snow than the newer cars: The skinny tires meant you had a chance of getting down through the snow and have some contact with the pavement and the relatively low power meant your weren't as likely to break the tire free and have it start to spin. Of course that was all before traction control, etc.

Not likely that I'll drive that car in the snow again: The nearest local snow is in the mountains and there are way too many people from Los Angeles who drive up for skiing and snow play that have no clue how to drive in the snow. I would rather not have my old Plymouth on the same two lane road as some fool in a four wheel drive that thinks that they can drive just like they do on dry pavement on the flats. Seen too many of them take out other cars to want mine anywhere close to them.

I would like to sleeve all four wheel cylinders on my P8. If anyone would be willing to sell my a driver front and passenger rear cylinder, that would be great. They can be in pretty bad shape, since they will be getting brass sleeves. I had Apple Hydraulics sleeve the master cylinder and a clutch master cylinder (for an old Saab, not a Plymouth) and have been very pleased with their work. While I'm begging, my could use a rear hub and drum, 10", left or right side. When I pulled the wheel to fix a leaky axle seal, I found that the previous owner had pushed lug bolts through the hub, tack welded them in place, and then attached the wheel with lug nuts. I had a picture of it, but cant seem to find it. I've been assured that it is  perfectly safe, but I don't like it at all.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
