Good morning to all,
Just a quick note to say that I am considering replacing the single-pot master cylinder on my 66. With questionable brakes, I have started work on the entire braking system. I am comfortable on replacing everything on all 4 corners, including wheel cylinders, hubs, shoes, springs, etc. My concern is that although I believe my m/c is OK, I have a completely new one that I can also add if needed.
Question: When removing the old M/C, do I have to worry about things flying out, such as springs, rods, etc? Do I just unbolt the old M/C, prime the new unit, line up the brake rod into the center of the new one and then bolt the new one on? I have to think that its probably that simple, but I have never done a m/c before. I am NOT going to install the dual reservoir that started in '67, just staying with the single-pot unit.
All advice will be appreciated.
