reproduction unobtainium

Finally someone is reproducing the rocky mountain rear brake cylinders for K-5, K-6, K-7 and up depending on your axles application,

not cheap, but I've seen NOS ones list for that price, at least now an option if yours are toast.

Not mine, have zero interest in this guy's fortune,

awhile back there was someone selling cyl for a fork truck that were the same, I can't remember the brand but they were the Hi-torque cyl, so I think they were in production longer then they were used on road trucks. Just wish I could remember what brand it was.. A mind is a terrible thing to loose!

Free shipping in the US but almost $300 USD shipping to Canada. The guy is a crook!

when I did the brakes on my KB-6 I accidentally bought the larger ones, (I think they go to KB-8 with hydraulic instead of air brakes)

anyway I found the right ones on a military surplus site, used in WWII halftracks, I thought $110 each was a lot of money back then, give away price compared to now, :t3901;

Re: reproduction unobtainium

If a member up north needs one bad enough to pay the price you could ship to a northern state U. S. forum member and either ship it or drive down and get it. A bit of trouble but $300.00 shipping is insane.
Unless there are fee's I dont know about $20 to $25 should work.
I get my high on heavy iron, the older and heavier the better I feel.

Re: reproduction unobtainium

I live an hour and a half from the border and regularly bring merchandise across. I know it doesn't cost $300 USD/384 CAD to do this. That's what makes me irritated.
