Hey Keith,

I just redid the whole brake system on my '57 444. Here are the Raybestos cross-referenced numbers for you.

Part# Features & Benefits Loc. Description Application Qty
BH5784 Front&Rear HOSE - FRONT LEFT All 1
BH5784 Front&Rear HOSE - FRONT RIGHT All 1
BH5784 Front&Rear HOSE - REAR All 1
MC6086 MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY W/O POWER All 1
MK137 MASTER CYLINDER REPAIR KIT W/O POWER All 1
1PG SHOE SET - FRONT PV444
1PG SHOE SET - REAR PV444
WC7379 Front WHEEL CYLINDER - FRONT LEFT All 2
WC7379 Front WHEEL CYLINDER - FRONT RIGHT All 2
WC4876 Rear WHEEL CYLINDER - REAR LEFT All 2
WC4876 Rear WHEEL CYLINDER - REAR RIGHT All 2
WK106 Front&Rear WHEEL CYLINDER REPAIR KIT - FRONT All 2
WK107 Front&Rear WHEEL CYLINDER REPAIR KIT - REAR All 2

I should mention that the raybestos rear shoes (#1PG) do NOT accomodate the 444's self-adjusters...no hole in the shoe. Otherwise it was a straight forward deal.

I bought too many sets of shoes and I also have 2 or 3 hoses left. Email me off list if you're interested. You find that the hose prices are ridiculous through raybestos. I was quoted like $35 a piece. I got them through another supplier. Cheaper, same hose... Go figure.

I also redid bearings/etc. when I had the rears apart. Might as well since had it apart anyway...


Good luck!
