Down the rabbit hole of a brake job. I have the new M.C. piggy-backed on the old one. Wilwood 260-14369-Bk, if anyone wants to look it up. Fascinating design. The reservoirs are squared off plastic jars, which can be mounted directly to the M.C. or mounted remotely with hoses connecting them to the M.C. I went remote. Wilwood has a standard bench bleeding method with cute tubes that pump the brake fluid back to the reservoirs (mounted on the M.C. of course.) But if the M.C. is on the car and is level, it can be bled in place. That's what I attempted. I filled the reservoirs. The levels went down slightly, most likely filling the hoses. I pumped the brakes as called for, repeatedly, but no fluid went to the MC. I texted Wilwood, and the automated response promised that someone would call. Waiting with baited breath.

I'm moving right along on my '52 Suburban build. This week I finished upgrading the brakes to a dual master cylinder from ECI Hotrod Brakes and Brackets. It's very well made and I had no trouble fitting it to my existing underfloor brake pedal. The instructions were good, and the only thing I had to buy extra was a bracket off eBay, to hold the combination valve below the master cylinder. I tried to re-use all the original clutch parts that I could, but needed to add a bit of metal to the clutch pull back spring arm as it was wallowed out, and install new clevis pins. My wife donated her old tan purse for the clutch fork seal. I saved some $ by using the P15D24 Forum template and made one myself, as AB and others are all out of stock. Next-steering column fun!

I thought I would start posting up my build thread on my 1955 C1B. My Dad bought this back in 2002. It was previously owned by the school district. It was a pretty solid start for a build and it ran!
