Where did you get a master cylinder rebuild kit from? I am going to try to pull a master cylinder off of my parts truck to see if it can be rebuilt.

I was looking at this kit but am not sure it it right.

I didn't buy a rebuild kit, my rubber was nice and pliable, it wouldn't prime up at first but after the honing, it primed right up but the pitting wouldn't hone out. It is a 1 3/4" bore, the large rubber cup has Wagnor stamped in it and may have a part# stamped in it, if you would like, I will pull it apart and check for you, I'm going to buy a new master cylinder.

Part numbers would be nice. No hurry though.

Found a couple NOS windshields and a muffler stack for the G749 from a MVPA member, this is what they looked like after FedEx got through with them.

That's a let-down for sure.

But the shipment was insured I hope.

Oh man. That is terrible. What does FedEx have to say?

Was the exhaust extension in there bashing around? If so it should have been shipped separate or packed better.

 

[hambone]

They wasn't shipped together, the windshields were screwed to wood with 1" styrofoam on each side, they must have dropped them, packed them better than I would have. I filed a claim for $200, I paid $60 for the pair, plus $27 shipping but now have to get the glass replaced, I think I can get both glasses replaced for short money. I have already replaced the glass and outside seals on my windshields, they are in good shape, just couldn't pass up a good deal.

Thought I would do some sanding and painting while i'm waiting on my master cylinder.

Oh, yeah, she is looking good; real nice.

Hambone welcome aboard!

What are you using to do the sanding?

 

[hambone]

I have a 5" electric orbital sander, it will get to most places, tight spots I do with a block or hand sand, start with 80gt and come back over with 180gt.

I can't figure how it matters, but I know some people swear by wet-sanding in the fine grits.

Do you sand wet, or dry?

 

[hambone]

I'm just dry sanding and wiping down with wax and grease remover, I'm not a painter but it looks OK for a old military truck.

 

[hambone]

Got a little painting done today

 

[USMC 00-08]

Looking real good! Did your master cylinder come in yet?

 

[hambone]

Yes it has, going to install next week.

 

[USMC 00-08]

Would you post up some pictures if it and it's internals when you get a chance?

 

[hambone]

Was able to make a little more progress on the truck, thought I would get the first coat of paint on before cool weather hits, was able to get my windshields in along with the side windows. Only going with one coat on the inside since it won't be exposed to the elements, haven't painted the top because I have a couple holes I need to plug weld. Took the hydro-boost out, I need to read Gunfreaks thread so I can figure out how to get this thing apart. USMC, I forgot to take a picture of my M35 master cyl., I will do that next week. Can't wait to get this baby rolling.
