L130 Brakes Question
I have an L130 I am trying to make into a safe fun driver to use puttering around town, occasional building supply runs to house and cottage, hauling stuff to the dump. I want to go through my brakes (which actually work now) and replace or rebuild all the cylinders and lines and reline the shoes (I have heard drums are pretty much like unicorns so I will just do a light cleanup on mine unless they are too worn to be safe or damaged in a way I think would be unsafe). Safe brakes are obviously an absolute must do before driving on the road, and 60+ year old seals (at least) and lines have to go.
I looked on Rock Auto and for L130 they only seem to have wheel cylinders. For the R130 they seem to have pretty much everything except the rear shoes. The Raybestos catalog site doesn't list the L130 at all, but they list most brake parts for the R130. The Wheel cylinders seem to have the same part numbers between the L130 and R130.
My question is whether the R130 master cylinder is compatible with the L130? (and also stuff like the flex hoses which would be convenient to be able to just order at the same time).
Thanks
