Chevrolet C8 1940 Cab 11 restoration, The Netherlands

[Alex van de Wetering]

The thing that had been bugging me from the beginning was that one of the studs in the master cylinder casting was not really screwed in far enough.....So, took the master cylinder off again and with help of two nuts and a spanner I tried to screw it in further. I didn't even put the thing in a vice, but than it was "snap".....cracked the casting! I unscrewed the stud and found the lower half of the hole was filled with black crud....maybe even from the factory??

Not a happy ending this weekend, I'm afraid....and really don't know if this thing can be saved or not.
