Help guys -
  I acquired a '54 front end so I could convert my Huck brakes to Bendix.  I 
cleaned all the rusty greasy parts in a water-muratic acid bath, which really 
worked great.  The bad news is, I also put the wheel cylinder pistons 
(ALUMINUM) in the acid too.  Within minutes they started to bubble in the 
bath.  When I got them out, they had turned black and now have a crumbly 
surface -- not safe to use in brakes I'm sure.  
  If anyone has old '51-'59 wheel cylinder pistons, I need them badly.  They 
are not available without buying the entire cylinder assemblies.  I need 4 of 
them, they are 1 1/8" in diameter.  Please let me know off list what you want 
for them and of course I'll pay shipping also.  Thanks.
