When I was stationed in Key West, I had the brakes done on my 63 Rambler,
and they had to polish the bores in the wheel cylinders. The cylinders were
hard to find, even for a 4 year old car. So if the pits aren't too deep,
that's a possible choice. But if you can find new ones for less than an arm
and a leg, that's the way to go. Bob K in PHX, soon to visit DE and MD.
