The best plug and play rear brake cylinders for a 68 2000 are the stock =
Nissan ones.  They are still available at Nissan and come with a warrant=
y.  New ones would probably last 15 or 20 years.  How much do you think =
you can save when using mismatched parts. PD  Understood, Ron. Really lo=
oking for a plug-and-play solution (if any, and there may not be one).

Looking for more rear brake bias, and based on prior notes, the 13/16" d=

Thanks.
