Taking care of some over due things I've wanted to do on the Clipper for awhile, but they have requried me to disassemble some of the car to do them. So as you can see, I took a few parts off the car to gain access to what I wanted to work on.
The task for today was installing a remote fill the master cylinder. Many years ago I bought a kit at Salado, but I was never happy with the reservoir that mounted on the firewall. It was an aluminum casting and was a big blocky and rough looking. It looked like something like a prototype street rod part. But it came with all the fittings and a new cap for master cylinder. So I just put it away. Last year I found a gent who makes these retro looking reservoir for some type of old British cars. It was inexpensive, so I bought it. So with that new part, and the other parts from the other kit, I cobbled together my own. I think it's relatively non-descript on the firewall and blends in. Having the driver's side fender off, make this task much easier. I just had to bend the hardline portion around various obstacles.
