Rodder's Roundtable / home made brake adapter

Quote from: "sirstude"Great minds think alike, that is exactly what I did on my Studebaker when I built it.  I also milled out a reservoir that mounted on the firewall.  That was the total projects that I made when I took an adult ed machining class while they still offered it here.

Quote from: "C9"Are you sure your overheating is due to the radiator?

What kind of engine are you running?



C9, you're thinking full manifol vac, etc?

Quote from: "Gilles"One fact that's maybe important  : I did a mistake assembling the TV piston, the pin wasn't in the good location. The result was the TV cable travel too short because the piston hiting the pin. I fixed this problem before the first start of the engine but I had to remove the valve-body. As I don't have spare gaskets I reused them, unable to know if I was doing a big mistake or not.  I wonder if it can cause a leak and explain the problem? :(

Hey, Gang!

Really old, former member here. Was OLDERNDIRT, 1, 2, etc.. Got screwed up some way and couldn't figure out how to get back on untill today. "it's an age thing".

Turned 80 last November, been through prostate cancer (successfully) and feeling fine.

Still have our ' 40 Ford Coupe. Not driving it as much as we should, but nice weather is here and will try to to better. Love the MII manual. Drives like it's on rails. No problem parking.

Great to be home!
