I can't tell you if those fit or not... but evperformance.com just picked up a line of wheel cylinders that we have already tested and know fit. Unfortunately...
I am working on both the brakes for a citicar and a 2002 GEM at the same time. You are right, the GEM wheel cylinders are much more corroded than the 30 year...

Their car is an older Subaru and it is paid for. They figure that if the Xebra will last them 5 years it is worth the price. Would cost them that much to own...
You might want to point them to the Yahoo Xebra group. The group is growing quite fast and now has several owners and a couple of dealers posting. The Xebra...
As I posted previously, I looked at a 40 pound strut and thought it was way to powerful. I got a 30 pound and tried it. It would not hold the glass up. So...
