Are wheel cylinders interchangeable in all stepdowns?  I have a '51 Hornet and wanted to know if it was compatible with the list of parts that "dougson" posted a few months ago for his '54.  Front cylinders would be Bendix 33595 (left) 33596 (right) and 33600 (rear left) and 33601 (rear right)?  Thanks again!

    Stepdown brakes are much the same 48 to 54, only 3 types of wheel cylinder were used over those years. 

    The rear wheel cylinders are the same over all years and models.

    The fronts came in 2 varieties, LWB all years and SWB 50 to 54. 

    The 3 varieties all have the same bolt pattern so its possible to mix and match if you are careless.
