I live in Shelton, CT. 06484, I have a 67 and i am looking for U-Cups for the wheel cylinders, qty of 6.

Hi Rodney,
I don't think they sell those separately. Take a look at the attached G60 parts list that Greg put together. I think you'll need to order the specific wheel cylinder repair kits (i.e. part number 52400-Ni000-K for front or 53400-NI000-K for the rear.
The parts list is attached. Once you are all set, let me know and I will include your parts in the order. You're actually just up the street from me (figuratively). I live in Ridgefield. We should get the patrols together sometime for a play date.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Greetings to those ordering from Greg at 4WD. First, he is still learning what works for us Vs them.....so though he is patience he can't be relied on to make the right parts selections...but the forum can. For example, my 63 has a mechanical clutch as RiverPatrol made evident, but Greg wasn't aware any Patrols had these so RiverPatrol prevented me from buying several un-needed parts.
At first he really insisted on me sticking to parts numbers only, but ultimately he helped and generated the parts numbers list for me. Now he is keeping a file for each US model and parts needed for each year.
All this to say I'm sure glad we have him but help yourself with forum advice before you finalize your order.

Hi everyone. My order is not yet ready to ship from AUS. Greg said that it will be at least another week. If there are items that you want to add to my order to save on shipping, I'm more than happy to do it, just let me know.
I doubt that he would. Do you know if they ship directly to the U.S.? There are some other Patrolees on that side of the world who might be able to assist if they can't. I looked at what they offer and I would be interested in placing an order with them too.
They do ship direct to USA. Unfortunately, the shipping cost is quite high. My thought was that if Greg was a distributor for SCOTT'S OLD AUTO RUBBER then 4WD Products - Australia could include the needed items in one shipment.

As noted earlier Greg is an excellent helper. However, you can not expect him to do anything more than fill the order YOU provide from the 4WD parts list. I clearly had never seen a Patrol prior to my purchases, nor have my mechanics. Furthermore, I have yet to spend more than 45 minutes with either Patrol. Our numerous requests for help clearly demonstrates our lack of knowledge.
It is through the great support of this forum that we are able to move forward at all.
Having said that, working with Greg is difficult. He either doesn't know any more than we do or is simply the type that requires precise direction. He is not rude or unfriendly, the buyer just needs to pick parts from his list and he will pack and ship them.
We have received a few wrong parts and when we ask why others were not included he claims to not know the parts even existed until you confront him (thanks RiverPatrol) with his 4WD webpages showing him that they do and his store carries them. So, nobody knows everything but this seller can't be relied on to help create a parts list. Again, that is just the way some people roll. It is best to know that on the front end of a parts order.
Partrolling with 4WD parts,
