All the  stuff I'm learning from you guys is most definitely helping me out ! Yes, Oldtime did mention the supposed advantages of four eccentric adjusters. I plan on posting a few more pics about the other areas of the jeep in another thread. I realize there are (relatively) few Mitsu-willys owners out there, except Japan of course. Thanks for the compliment Rus, and "see you around".

Great illustrations of the differences of your Mitsu and a Willys.  I notice your shoe linings are the same size (front and back).  The upper adjustments aren't the same eccentrics as I've seen in manuals or on my jeep.  Yours appear to double as anchors for the shoes also.  Interesting.

But if both sets of eccentrics will move the shoes out, following that adjustment procedure should give you the correct clearance inside the drum.

Good looking jeep, BTW!

I hope all the info being provided helps you zero in on the correct parts.

If you can locate these they should have the slotted piston heads.

Quote
The wheel cylinder pistons with a notch are 1941-1953 design.
Front wheel cylinder = A-1484
Rear Wheel cylinder = A-6110

OLDTIME - I stand corrected saying I only had 2 adjusters/wheel, forgetting that the 2 anchor bolts were also adjustable. Thanks again.

RUS CURTIS -  I suppose slotted pistons are just my preference. Maybe it's just because that's what i've dealt with my previous cars. Thanks again for your helpful insights.

EVERYONE- Thanks again for your help. Always a learning experience hearing from more experienced fellas.

Yes Patric .
These are the early design 9"Bendix backing plates and parts.
They are the same as used on MB, CJ2A and CJ-3A. 1941-1953.

Not the same design  as used on CJ3B and later CJ's.
However you can definitely  use the later part numbers for the 1953-1958 master and wheel cylinders.

This early 9" Bendix design uses 4 adjustment eccentrics per wheel as opposed to late 9" type with 2 adjustments per wheel.

OLDTIME-
                   I understand some. I have those "S" tubes going to my front wheel cylinders. My wheel cylinders are notched.
                  Your extensive knowledge of even the minute details of parts and such is helping to support my belief of this being one of the earlier  Mitsu-Willys jeep.  Please see page 2 as well for the brake pics I just posted earlier.  My apologies for some of the duplicate pics, internet over here tends to be erratic, so i sometimes press a button twice because it seemingly did not respond... Thanks again, and any other observation you might want to give regarding the pics is always welcome.
