On the subject of brakes:
The 'upside' was that the master cylinder was in excellent shape, full of soft decomposed rubber which preserved the bore. A week of soaking in Methylated spirits (wood alcohol) and I managed to clean the goop out.
I used a piece of wooden dowel with a piece of Scotchbrite (scrubbie) to clean the bore to sparkling cast iron grey, and then lightly buffed it with 1200 grade wet & dry paper to remove any imperfections.... Anyone need the part number of the Ford Master Cylinder Overhaul kit in Oz???? See second picture.. one plastic bag says it all.
Keith would you be so kind as to add the Kit P/n to the spares list on MLU?
The bellcrank assembly was serviceable after I removed the dirt and cleaned the clevis pins.
More parts to be hung up & painted....
