Hi Stephen

Takes so little to sort out some problems.

...and I should have known better..... statute of limitation applies.....

In the 70s I offered to clean up a friends driveway while he was away in FLorida for Xmas..... using an old M43 Dodge ambulance..... it would work for a while then the brakes would lock up..... with 12 inches of wet rainy snow to clean and not wanting it to turn to cement whenit froze I finished the job by repeatedly crawling underneath and releasing teh pressure from teh bleeder valves and adding more fluid.

Got the job done....soaked to the skin in icy water......and spent New Years in bed with total deafness, ear infection and sore throat......

The owner laughed at me for not re adjusting the master cylinder rod... a new Mc had just been installed before he left for vacation..... you would think I owul dhave remembered....DUH !!!!!!

There are NO lock nuts on the CMP MC but there is a lock nut near the clevis which was loose and was promptly tighened. A new return spring may be in order as I am using a 1940 original.....

Thanks again for your insight..... wish you were closer!!!
