Topic: Wheel Cylinders on 49 Merc

  I am replacing the wheel cylinders on my 1949 Mercury and would like to know where to get ones made in the USA. Also the same with the master cylinder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I may have other questions later along the way!

  I don't know where you can get brake parts made in the USA. Your best bet is to try a local parts house that is not connected to one of the major chains. A good counter man know what his suppliers have on hand.

You can also try Little Dearborn in Minnesota and Northwestern Auto Supply in Grand Rapids, Michigan. You can try a search for the P?N on RearCounter.com

Good luck in your search.

  Amazon has the front wheel cylinders for your car.

Google Raybestos WC18290

I did not check for the rear wheel cylinders.

  Give the guys at JobLot Automotive a call 718-468-8585 they might have NOS parts.
