Wagner Lockheed M/C Rebuild kit?

[JBird]

A post by John sent me looking for a block on an old master cylinder I pulled off my 59. I found it then compared it and the the block to the new parts I have on the shelf.

I found the block I ordered was wrong and square. I found the master cylinder I ordered form the Bird's Nest was wrong too. The packing slip says it fits 58-60 man & pwr but it has a 1 inch diameter piston and it looks different from the one I took off and it has a 1 1/8 inch diameter piston.

I looked in my shop manual and the old one I have looks like the one in the book so does the block on it. Tomorrow I plan to return the wrong parts.

I'd like to rebuild my old one but a Google turned up nothing in the way of a rebuild kit. Can someone help me locate one?

The old master cylinder says:

WAGNER LOCKEED
1/18 DIA
FE-20390
MADE IN USA

Where can I get a kit for it?

Thanks Rick!

I called my local NAPA and they ordered a kit for me but th eprice went up to 24 bucks. Cheap at any price is you need one. It should be here in 7 days and is 1 1/8th inch for a 59 T-Bird with A/C and Power Brakes.

Thanks again!

My pleasure, sometimes the parts are hiding in plain sight
