Re: Club Car Caroche Golf Cart 1974'-1980' brakes
I don't know about the "Caroche" nomenclature, but my 1979 CC has hydraulic brakes. We rebuilt the entire system, including a new line from the master cylinder to the rear. Replaced both wheel cylinders and the master cylinder; the wheel cylinders could probably have been rebuilt, but I didn't check for parts availability. We even bought new shoes. Even thought the RH and LH wheel cylinders are different, we ended up with 2 that were the same. No big deal, as we were replacing the steel lines anyway, so just bent things a bit differently.
This project was done last Fall, probably October or early November. IIRC, the entire project cost about $300.00. I found 2 places that sold the parts, but one jacked up the price after I placed the order, so I went with the other outfit. I've looked and looked, but can't find who I bought from. Found them originally by searching for "Club Car brake parts" or perhaps "Club Car hydraulic brake parts". If the Caroche is something different, please ignore the above. |

My Dad did one a few years ago.He used a rebuilt master-cylinder for a 1940 Ford,If I remember correctly,it bolted in.They sell them thru Speedway Motors and any Street-Rod supplier,Maybe even some auto-parts suppliers.Hope this helps.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Do you think the wheel cylinders are the same as one used on a car? I have been trying to cross reference and haven't had any luck.Any suggestions, I really don't want to pay 50 to 60 dollars per cylinder.

. . . you could try taking the part numbers to NAPA or some place and see if they can do that . . . 6251 driver's side and 6250 passenger's side . . . better yet, take them the wheel cylinder to match up or find a rebuild kit for it . . .
