    I recently purchased a P12
  1. ps ... I recently bought this P12 and am enjoying working on it ... this "oiler" was on it and the previous owner wasn't sure what it was as it was there when he got it 10 years ago
  2. i am hoping someone knows what this and can give me information on how to use it and why it may have been installed ... it is somewhat connected but it is shut off ... it seems to be some sort of an oiler ... a tube connects to the intake manifold ... if I had to guess I would say it may have been used to lube the valves ... as you can see it is attached to the passenger side of the firewall ... any ideas?
  3. wow! what a quick reply .. I only put that up less than 5 min ago ... thanks so much for the information ... now I am inclined to rebuild the one I have .. what vendors have the brass piston?
  4. Ok .. if a new master cylinder isn't available has anyone experienced problems rebuilding 1941 master cylinders? ... meaning, I have rebuilt many wheel cylinders and masters and I would like to rebuild the one I have but if there have been problems rebuilding them yourself I would like to know ... I believe the master and wheel cylinders were rebuilt more than 10 years ago the car had very very little use since then , and when I opened up the wheel cylinders they were gunked up and barely moving ... I tried to extensively clean and rebuild them by cleaning the bore with 800 wet dry paper one began to leak where it didn't leak before hand ... but because of the desire to do as much as I can, such as rebuilding as opposed to buying one that has been rebuilt by a vendor, I don't want to end up with a master that doesn't work properly or leak ... any information would be appreciated .. thanks ...Bob
  5. no need to apologize ... any help/lead is very much appreciated ... I had to send the original rear wheel cylinders to White Post because no supplier had the proper rears for my car 1 1/4 x 1 1/8 ... replacements are available but not the correct size ... I may lean towards a new master instead of sending it to White Post for resleeving but my concern is that if the "new" ones that are available are really new and not rebuilt ones ... does anyone know the answer to that?
  6. I can already see that this forum is going to be a great resource .. thanks
  7. Jim .. I just called ECI and they don't have a dual master conversion for drum brakes ... the wheel cylinders require more fluid than any master they know of can provide ... thanks for the lead ... seems like I will have to rebuild the original ... to take my master out do I need to remove the floor board?
  8. thanks! .. I will look into this .. I am hoping to keep the original drum brakes
  9. Hi all .. today is my first day as a member ... I recently purchased a 1941 P12 ... I am in the middle of redoing the brakes and just sent the rear wheel cylinders to White Post .. I purchased the fronts from Kanter .. they are great ( I pass by their store in my travels frequently) ... I have also found Andy Burnbaum to be reputable ... I would like to replace the original master cylinder with a dual for safety reasons but I cant seem to find any that are a direct conversion .. does anyone know of any available? ... if I cant find one I would like to rebuild or buy a new master but my repair manual doesn't say how to get it out ... any help with how to remove and replace the master would greatly be appreciated ... thanks ... Bob
