I agree with gm and 56', you have more than one thing going on. If the pedal goes to the floor and there are no external leaks, the seals on the master cylinder piston are leaking internally. The...

The breather was in the cover on the model 41 and early Salisbury stuff. Later when the 44 appeared, the 44 has the breather as a hollow bolt holding the brake block down as in gm's link to the Scout...
There is a gasket under the bolt. It is a tricky one as you can see from the copy of a post below from my thread on peeJ. The threads on the timing cover should be an inverted flare fitting. The...
Really a great project HDK. The pictures are great. There is a lot of detail there. I am positive there are pictures that will help others out.
With your rig, it must be perfect! Everything on...
The project is looking very good 56'! I believe you have brought Flossy back in a solid way. The paint looks just right. Taking them to a get together is what its all about. Even if its a small...
You are truly getting the full experience with that rig Hdk! That is a great toy to have around that's for sure. That baby is pristine. You are doing an excellent job of keeping it perfect. I would...
On mine everything was worn out. I pretty much had to replace everything in the linkage. The worn out clutch linkage explained some of the damage I found in the transmission from grinding gears!
I am definitely liking the tape recorded radio chatter. That makes the whole thing a time machine!
gm has you straight. Do Not Touch the adjusting bolts on the fingers of the pressure plate. They are preset. Moving those will definitely lead to problems. as gm said, and we discussed before, any...
There are a few good sources for Automotive testing equipment. In the end it is the brand name and place of manufacture you are looking for. You can shop prices at a lot of places. I am very fond of...
I would tighten that clutch linkage up 56'. It will give you headaches in adjustment if the components are worn. Replace or repair anything that will cause you lost motion.
Like gm said, the...
Yes 1/8" is the size. The purpose of the hole was to help let the air past a closed thermostat, preventing steam pockets.
Wow a very cool radio! I did not realize there were FM signals used in the 40's and 50's. I always thought FM was a late 60's thing. The shear size of the radio in that thing is wild. Larry did it...
Hahaha! Man that thing is hard to find now. It is available from other sources under some other names but basically, it is a RobertShaw.

The detailing is coming along nicely HKG! That is a show stopper no question. One for the museum.
You are definitely getting the job done there 56'! You have it down to where you can perform any repair you need to do. Your welding skills get better everyday! You have to love it when you get the...
JW, it doesn't take much of a battery that's for sure, 550 CCA is definitely enough if you aren't loaded with accessories like lights and a winch for instance. I would go by dimension and post...
Some great pictures in there. I like the wrench, I have a few of those! A good shot of what the correct consistency knuckle and steering box lube looks like. A good shot of "Corn Head Grease". That...
Sometimes you have to work with what yo have. If you can heat the bracket and "fit" it, that would be my choice. On mine I had one bad stud. I removed the old stud from the bracket and replaced it by...
Wow what a beauty! That is a fine looking Military Jeep. You may want to start a photo album Hodakaguy. Welcome!
That thermostat is still hard to find. It is sold as a Milodon 16400. Expensive little beast. It is rated as full open at 160.

The thickness of the body mounts varies a little bit. The original Jeep parts manual lists 3/16" as the #1 body hold down, 1/2" as the #2, 1/4" as the #3, and 1/8" as the #4,#5 and #6 liners. When...
I can still clearly remember the Delorean sales. Many owners ended up painting them. All you needed was for someone to put a sweaty hand on it and, out comes the buffer. They were very difficult to...
Like gm said, anything hard rubber will work. Depending on the thickness you need, cut pieces of conveyor belting also works extremely well. On my Jeep the mounts are the original thickness that came...
Yikes! I think I like the patina a bunch more. The polished stainless looks like chrome. It is unique. The Heep has a much better personality. I like the bare carbon steel.
