    Thank You
     
  3. You'll get it done. A lot of shops get a little hinkey when they think it is a brake part. Now if it was just a hydraulic part they may jump all over it. :D

    Good luck with it. ;)

    Nice lookin coupe by the way. :cool:

    You can give Modesto Machinery Works a try. They still have 90% manual equipment and pretty much do a lot of one off stuff. Used to be pretty reasonable, but I haven't been in there for 2 years.

    I dont think Alu. is the right material, why do factorys use BRA$$ when aluminum is so much cheaper???
     
  9. Vicky with a hemi has a good idea.
    tell you what I'd do, I would get a store bought union to join the two brake lines and then drill out the aluminum block and press in the union after I cut the outside of the union round.
     
  10. There are aluminum master cylinders, calipers, and aluminum ABS units and who knows what else I haven't seen

    This gizmo is aluminum but looks like the seating surface is pressed in -?br***?

  11. Seems to me that some of the early Ford dual master cylinders had pressed in ****ons like the one pictured above. I'm pretty sure they are br***. Drill, tap, press in little round thingy, done.

    And those usually are coated/anodized for hardness and wear and the aluminum Masters are somtimes sleeved with SS. Unless you are friends with the anodizer theres a $75 minimum

  13. what is stronger, aluminum or br*** threads? dreracecar got me thinking, if the threads are coated, will just plain aluminum strong enough? We all know br*** fittings hold up.

    Haven’t read the whole thread but have you considered installing a STEEL insert with the needed thread design?

    ...Just tell us the procedure, pulleeze! What did you decide to go with?

    I read about a theft in a township in Maine. Over the weekend, Burglars broke into the police station and stole all the toilet seats! Cops got nothing to go on...
