If I can get the regular system to work than I will tackle the booster. DId you have to rebuild anything on the booster???
did you make yourself the little bushing needed to adjust the system???
Looking at picking up 4 tail lights and brackets for you on Saturday.....
Can you send me Ken's phone number so I can load up some parts for him... need to up date his wish list...

Hi Bob- If you are going to set up your brake before you put the body on then setting up brake system without the booster in place makes some sense. But you want to be sure that you get the booster pivot in place before you put the cab in place. I don’t understand why the problems with getting Rob’s master cylinder to work. Was it a sleeved? Only problem that I had on one of the master cylinders that I had sleeved was that rebuild kit didn’t let the little bleeder hole function correctly. Other than that the only leaks on the master cylinder were caused by the trying to reuse the copper washers once I realized that was the problem I got a stock of the washers and just replace them when ever I undo a connection.
Yes, I had to rebuild/clean the booster, I followed manual step by step taking the time to make the tools necessary to disassemble the booster. Replacing the boot on the booster is necessary, my replacement came from Sears Automotive, bellows cover for shock absorbers. Yes, turned the adjustment bushing on the lathe and added it the box of CMP tools, if you have problems finding the stock and I’ll make another.
Thanks for finding the tail lights. I’ve also hidden a modern set of tail lights behind the reflectors on the back of the Pattern 12.
Glad your going to make Weare Rally.
Cheers
