I need some help. I'm reworking the front drum brakes first. This car had zero brakes. While the booster is off being rebuilt, I am changing shoes and wheel cylinders. The wheel cylinder links are rusted and pitted. I am sure they will allow dirt and moisture past the rubber boots. I have had no luck finding the correct replacement links and I am hoping that someone here knows a correct part number and brand. I have seen a few that were close but not correct. The fork part has been too big on the others I have found.
The dimensions are 1.5 inches in length. The small end is 5/16 and the fatter section is 3/8. The opening in the little fork end is .200.
Its strange that these little links are not included in the brake hardware kit, nor the wheel cylinder kit. Thank you for any help.
