Re: 62 Chopped FL Rebuild
Got this done just before injuring myself...

Re: 62 Chopped FL Rebuild
Pulled it out, cleaned it up, brazed a nickle over the opening,
drilled the side and pressed in a barbed outlet...
I gotta fasten that barb in there better...
probably use silver solder, or epoxy...

Re: 62 Chopped FL Rebuild
I can't get the rear brakes to bleed though, the mc piston seems to hang after "pushing", sometimes retracts sometimes doesn't, might need to pull it apart and see what's up... Might be able to disconnect the line at the mc and force fluid through it somehow, looking at that possibility......
