Default Nice progress Leo.....

Broken bolts are sometimes a great time saver...... you probably would have had to replace it with a new one anyways and it is quicker......the precious oneslike wheel studs, rims studs are best treated to many heat cold cycles and forward and reverse on the impact........ if you over do it you will break studs and or have oval nuts........ don't ask how we know........

Get gasket material andmake new ones ...use the old one as a template..... your passenger will appreciate a dry ride in the rain....... decals for Ford are available from Mac Auto on the web and other repro places.....

You are lucky they stillmake Ford master cylinders for the brakes....... Spaenour is a good source for modern old looking bolts and square nuts caged or free ranging...... watch the e brake bolts for the handle they have to be made due to the step size.....

Enjoy........
