Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

Now that this little blog has gotten more or less caught up, here are a couple more tidbits.
One of the first things I did was to pull off the master cylinder which is quite different on Henney-Packards from passenger cars. In examining it, I discovered that it was not the original cylinder and, since it would have needed a professional rebuild anyway due to its condition, I decided to put the expense into the proper one. Once I got the proper one which was from the same wet location as the rear axle, Apple Hydraulics took on the rebuild and did an amazing job considering its condition. Shown here is the replacement that it had and the proper one rebuilt.
