Sorry if this has been covered and redundant...
But I have 2 patrols. My 'newer' donor '70 G60 came with a lot of spare parts including a OEM brake cylinder that quickly went into my '69 L60. That said, I have fallen in love with, despite my wallet's cries for help, the '70 donor G60. However, the brakes are starting to stick really bad and seems the brake cylinder is failing (why it came with a new in box). Would like to update it something like:

Was wondering if anyone has done something similar and has advice on how to proceed or just opinions about this supplier in particular.
Trying to keep the '69 stock while fine with moderinizing the '70. Seperating out the G60's rear and front brakes for safety would be preferable here.
Full transparency, I don't really contribute to the forum as a competent mechanic I am not! But am so thankful for the contributions of everyone on this site and its wealth of information on such an awesomely obscure and rare vehicle here in the USA

Re: Brake Cylinder
Search for "Protex" and you will see a few threads on using this MC. You will need to make some mods but it is very doable. I like RMoore's solution of building a 1" spacer.

Re: Brake Cylinder
Found them, thanks! Seems to definitely be a reoccuring topic and specifically lists the brake cylinder in question. RMoore's solution does appear to be the most graceful, really appreciate the help on thisplateaucal wrote:Search for "Protex" and you will see a few threads on using this MC.
