Rhino Liner on Brake Master Cylinder

[PatS....]

Here's what a brake master cylinder looks like Rhinoed.

Prep was just soap and water wash and Rhino primer for insurance. Mask and wire tape on the openings. The 4 mounting holes will need to be drilled back to size as well.

Spray gun adjustment gives the smooth shiney surface.

Cost was about $25. Brake fluid won't affect the Rhino one bit.

This is for my 62 Dodge D300, the 49 Chrysler's will be done as well considering the harsh location it lives in.

Pat,

I always thought that stuff had a rough texture to it. I guess not, huh?

I am sure that truck bed liners get their origin from the walkway compound that was applied to military aircraft wings and droptanks called nonskid, usually a paint compound with grit mixed in.

If you don't throw in the grit for grip it still has the same toughness only it's slick, we used to do the same thing in the military when it was "borrowed" to do a civilian coating.

I'm sure that the new compounds are way tougher than the ones we used. I've never seen anything that could withstand brake fluid before.

Keep us updated Pat.......how's the other project:D

Rhino was invented to be used on the huge Euclid-type trucks used in mining. They would wear through the floor of a box in a year...expensive.

A thick coat of Rhino when new, and when it wore down, a one day respray was all that was needed. No more box floor replacements. The spray in truck box liner was born. Rhino is the original, the rest are knock-offs.

The name is appropriate. It's tough stuff.

The texture can be manipulated by different sprayer settings.

Brake fluid nor battery acid will affect the Rhino. Great for battery trays.

Awesome, now quit Dodging:)hows the other car doing:D

[PatS....]

Ha..no Dodging.

It's been sitting for a year. I haven't the strength to do much of anything...I tinker with the D300 because it's here, as is the 56 Rambler, the 49 is about 10 minutes away.

Diabetic Neuropathy, after 26 yrs affects the nerves in my arms...no strength. Took doctors some time to figure it out. Too bad they can't just hook up a code reader to my a$$

So, the 49 Chrysler is on the back burner...for a while.

Talk about an armchair project!!!!

The 62 D300 and the Rambler will be sold but not until they are running/driving and the economy is better. They are worth more and easier to sell running/driving. It was stupid to get them in the first place.

That neuropathy thing is nasty. I good friend had it in his feet, and got to be wheel chair bound for the most part. On good days he could walk to the end of the driveay to get the mail, but that was about it.

My cousin had it in his fingers. I can certainly emphatize as I have arthritis in my neck and shoulders and have lost about 50 percent of my arm and hand strength, (thanks to who ever came up with air tools) so the day after I do a lot with my arms and hands is usually a day I can't do much involving bulling stuff around.

Keep pluging Pat.

Thanks Greg. I don't bring it up because, like Michael J Fox said we all have our bag of hammers...this is just mine.

Not complaining, it could be worse, just have to work around it. I force a 1 mile steady walk very day, without that I would be screwed.

Air tools don't help because my fingers can't press the trigger. I can still do the one finger salute though!!

But it is slowly getting better...50% better than a year ago.
