I agree. I did my own and wasn't too difficult. Just make sure you buy the kit with the poppet valve rubbers/seals. The only 2 problems I found was the brass poppets are little ball joints that should rotate freely. Mine were seized and I had to work them loose and free them up. Then greased them with the assembly lube. Also I had to hone the master cylinder sleeve and the booster reservoir with drill type honing stones. Hope this helps.

I couldn't open my 56 Clipper trunk so I got my 13 year old son to climb through. Child abuse? 🤣 He did the job!

I pulled the gauge out and gave the needle a few flicks up and down. Has done the job and working now. It seemed the spring mechanism was stuck somehow. Thanks again Howard for your advice.

Will do as you say. Thanks again Howard!

Hi everyone. I have a question regarding my fuel gauge on my 56 Clipper. It was working fine and has a new sending unit, but now its jammed on 1/4 of a tank, even when the ignition is off. I'm guessing I need a new gauge. I've checked the voltage coming out of the 5v regulator and it seems to rise to 5v then back down to zero and so on and so on. Is this normal?

Hi everyone. I have finally got my 56 Clipper on the road! It runs sweet for an old donk that hasn't ran for 15 years (i'm shocked how well). But the ultramatic changes pretty rough with a noticable clunk. I have put some lucas transmission slip in it but hasn't got better. Would adjusting the bands help? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

P.s. When i opened the pan there was a hairline crack in the valve body (the valve body visible when you open the pan. Lower?)

The older Jeeps used the same 2" brake shoe. Thats what I used. Exactly the same

Thanks Ross 😊
