Mine had a rubber washer which was over-stretched. I created a new one out of gasket material, that worked out great.

Mine is metal on metal, but doesn't leak. Maybe I'll try to find some kind of gasket

If it doesn't leak, I would leave it alone!

One does not want it to leak OUT or to LEAK ANYTHING IN!If it doesn't leak, I would leave it alone!
I take the liberty of all caps as that is how important it is.
My apologies to the powers that be.
It MUST BE vented to atmosphere at some point.
Seal off the vent and you get to replace the MC.

The threads on the new external reservoir cap allow enough venting for the hydraulic part of the brake system

I have a pond stocked with largemouth and bream literally 50' from the back of the house, but haven't fished in 2yrs!

If your not careful, you can let life slip past you. Then when you get old you look back and realize you wasted so much time doing things that really didn't matter at all !

I finished wiring the rear marker lights (old A3 brackets, new paint and lights) to the "21" circuit (look for the wire end on the tail light/rear harness with the little metal tag crimped to the wire with a "21" stamped in it - probably will be covered in dirt and paint like mine was). The red marker lights come on when ever the tail lights are on, but do not flash with the turn signal/4-way, and of course, don't get brighter when the brakes are applied.
I also connected the reverse lights to a 'Y' splitter in preparation for a line run to a switch in the cab. Modifying that shaft on the transmission for automatic reverse lights is too much for me right now, so a manual switch it is! I'm still a bit crazy though, did go to the trouble of undoing a couple bolts on the rear wire harness right beside the pintle so I could route the new reverse light wire through the same hold-down points. The 'Y' splitter is on the driver's side so I can follow the harness forward.

I decided to connect my reverse lights to a switch on the dash also- that way I can use them as work lights.
Also, if I want to sneak around or be covert, the backup lights won't come on in reverse.
(Sneak around in a deuce? Dudes crazy.)

Hey, I totally agree! There's a part of me that wants to maintain the original functions - that includes blackout.
I hadnt thought about the ability of using them as work lights. Nice think'n!

In my deuce I also used the a3 lights on a manual toggle and they came in real handy when I was hooking and unhooking the m105 at night.

Well Truck is coming along Nicely.
Spent $$$ from several different Vendors to get what needed/wanted.
Of course were still not done!
I like to spread it around to these folks.
Anyway Brakes squared away except for steel lines. Not bad but should be replaced.
Installed front bumper folding step kit.
Remote Master Cylinder reservoir in the inside cab corner.
Took doors apart and cleaned, Lubed mechanisms, and undercoated inside.
All fluids/filters taken care of, Complete Chassis Greased etc.
Lights, Tires, Lug wrench, jack etc. checked
Keyed Master Battery Disconnect Switch at Battery box.
Licensed and insured.
Still need low air buzzer, buzzer on the way. few other odds'n'ends!
Should be getting close!
Thanks
Tom

32x 18 1/2 inch plate on top going to 3' 5/16 in the ribs of the bed , 3 of them , a little overkill but what I had with 12 5/8 grade bolts
