Need Electrol brake cylinders , PA15,PA17,Clipper, Etc

[Larry Huntley]

I am working on a Replica (Exp ) PA17 Vagabond in Florida. I have a set of wheels and brakes and lots of spare parts, but the Electrol 459 cylinders are corroded inside. Anyone out there have a set to sell? Know anyone who does? If I could even find a couple of good, non -corroded housings? I have enough good interior parts,. Thank you for any help. Larry

Mine were badly corroded as well. I replaced them with new Grove cylinders.

Tony, I thought about that, but was afraid the Groves might not have enough capacity for the expander tubes. Do you have the original 8.00 x 4 wheels and brakes.? Did you have any problems. Thank you for the response! Larry

Unfortunately, I replaced my bladder brakes with new Grove disks at the same time during my fuselage recover, so can't really comment.
Maybe Mr Grove (?) can help with your query? They were very responsive when I had brake queries..
