Wow

It has been a while. Trying to get the CMP parade ready but the students just don't seem motivated right now but I still try. They did manage to get the hatch done. A welding student created a hatch hinge (sorry don't have a picture of that. And well see for yourself

...a few dabs of OD green and it will look brand new.

Got all the wiring done ?????

Will it be street licensed or just towed to the parade start up.....

Enjoy....

Bob, or anybody out there in CMP Land have a readily available current model number for a master cylinder for Joel's unit. Talked to Joel tonight and suggested this forum could provide an immediate answer, as Parade day is approaching very quickly. Cheers everyone Robert

To the best of my knowledge there are no NOS or repros available for the Delco 1 1/4 CMP truck (B)master cylinder available.

Best bet is to have it rebuilt by John Stuart of Stoney Creek for about $200 .... he uses a Stainless Steel sleeve guaranteed for life and full rebuild......

Some one inch civilian models are available but the bolting pattern is different and not sure what the size of the piston means to brake efficencies.

A modern two section master cyl. from a GM mid sixty van might be adapted to fit and would give you a split system...... might be nightmarish to do the linkage on the CMP tight space......

Thanks Bob, I'll pass the torch on to Joel. Robert

I have made up a Ford bracket and fitted it in place of the Chev bracket. You can then use the standard Ford master cylinder of that era (same bore, same banjo fitting at the end of the cylinder) , which is readily available and as an added bonus, quite cheap. They can be had out of the US for as low as $35 each.

Ok to use the Ford Master Cylinder instead of the GM but can we see the modification braket and what is the Ford part number?
