Fishorgolf Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 1967 WRL 411 SSS Brake shoes and rear wheel cylinder rebuild kits from Rock Auto, Yes order or NO I ordered and returned my wrl 411 1600 water pump from Rock Auto after it didn't fit Da. I also pulled the gen/alt to have it rebuilt and had the radiator dipped and pressure checked at the same time. I sent my original water pump to a local rebuild shop I thought had gone out of business after the owner passed away. His son took on the job that took him about 10 + weeks, I felt for him and didn't pressure him. After putting everything back together and with the help of a battery charger the li car started right up. My newest problem was right before I started the car the brake pedal went to the floor. Seems the right rear wheel cylinder is leaking and needs rebuilt , thanks Grant Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Is there one or more questions here? The water pump is a somewhat unique problem, You most probably will have to modify a 1600 Roadster water pump in order to get a usuable unit. Subject covered many times here, Google is your friend! Brakes are a recuring problem, again Search is your friend! Quote Link to comment
UnderControl Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I rebuilt my wheel cylinders with kits from rockauto, no problems so far. I've had a couple of issues with RockAuto parts in the past, but everything is just so damn cheap. Quote Link to comment
Swedishcadillac Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I had my rear brake shoes relined by Porterfield inc. I wasn't aware you could buy them anywhere... Quote Link to comment

Porterfield is awesome. It's pretty impossible to find brake shoes of decent quality, but they will reline anything with high performance material. Quote Link to comment
