Hi guy's, Can't find these wheel cylinder's anywhere.Their made of brass and are on my Starliner duel axel trailer.Wanted to just replace them and the old brake lines if possible.Sticker on back of backing plate says Dico, but there are no part number's anywhere to be found..Everything else about brakes looked great.Backplate measured 9.25" across,and has four bolt holes. Haven't found any backplate assemblie's for a 9.25"...all seem to be 10" on up..Wheel's on trailer say 10x6" and tire's are 10 ply,20.5x8.0-10; so I thought the backing plate assemblie's might be 10"..Would love to find two of these wheel cylinder's and save some money on replacing the whole assembley...Just replaced the bad actuator on trailer also.Got a new Dico Areo-6000 witch was alittle diferent from the older one,but worked. Thanks in advance for any input ..

I took the cylinders off my old Yacht Club trailer a few year back and had Napa match some up for me. They did'nt have them in stock, but did get them in the next day. Might be worth a try.
Good luck and tell us how you come out!

I agree with the above just take one to a good auto parts store and they should be able to match it up. The important thing is that it be the same bore size as the originals.

Sorry it took so long to get back.. New puter now. Was able to find the wheel cylinder's at a local trailer shop for $36.00 each. Bought all new brake line kit there also, so brakes work again. Still haven't put this old logger on the water yet. I think it's ready, but wife has been sick so i'm kinda waiting for her to go out on the first trial run. Still needs some seat work and maybe some new carpet also, but she cranks and seems to run good now. She's been in my yard for a year now and there were times I wondered if id ever get her to this point. Thanks to all you guy's for the advice. Sure helped me a lot.

Great site and great folk's here.
