Restoration Note:
This wheel cylinder is patterned after the original Ford part number D8BZ-2261-A, which was used exclusively on the 1979 Fox Body Mustang. After 1979, Ford revised the rear wheel cylinder design, reducing the bore diameter from 13/16″ to 3/4″. The smaller 3/4″ version was then used on all 19801993 Mustangs and is available under NPD part number M-2261-2A. For restorers seeking factory-correct authenticity, this 13/16″ cylinder ensures your 1979 Mustang retains its original specifications, delivering both historical accuracy and reliable braking performance.
