"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Aluminium Master Brake Cylinder rebuild

« on: February 23, 2016, 05:18:29 PM »

Hey guys/gals. I decided to rebuild my master brake cylinder.I also recycled, not doing enough research to find out that some can with aluminium bodied cylinders.

Now my question is has anyone had any luck with rebuilding on of these? I managed to find a rebuild kit locally. The parts are mostly the same. Thou mine has 3 extra pieces installed it an rubber washer a white hard plastic piece before the piston and an extra rubber wash seat behind the spring and the parts list diagram doesn't not show that as a part of it. The bottom picture is what he cylinder had in it and what the rebuild kit has.

Does anyone know were I can get a new gasket? Will a cast iron cylinder cap work with this type(mine the bolt is pretty stripped)?

Hey guys. On my 1949 Cj-3A a plow was added by a previous owner. When they did, they welded in two support bars across the frame . They alsi welded a few pieces of plate steel. I'm not sure just cutting it all off if the frame, will still be correct. Is it possible to get some measurements and pics of how it's surpose to be? Thanks. pictures added.

Thanks guys for the quick responses. I found a picture as a reference to show the small bracket from the grill to the cross-member. I am guessing that why there a flat spot there for it to weld to.Can anyone help me with some measurements since I will have to make one?

Athawk11, was the brush guard/deflector a option back in the day or did most just get lost over the years? And thanks for the wiring question, I got a jeep with barely any wiring to know how to even know where to start placing it.


JeepFever, I would love to see a picute of the brush guard/deflector even if its rusted, its cool just to even see. I hope you get some time to work on your project as well.

Anyone know where I can find some of the grill nuts or retainers? If not i'll just have to make them.

Hey there guys/gals. I finally have started to start my rebuild of my jeep. Started to strip the paint off the grill, and found a few holes that I am not sure on. I got three hole and a raised area on the middle hole on the bottom of the hole. From what I see of restore they are not a thing. Is there suppose to be so many holes on the bottom of the grill for something? And last but not least how many nut /welded nut retainers are there suppose to be per side to mount the fender? Thanks for any help. Also found out that sand blasters are the bomb to remove the paint on these.

Hey guy/gals, It's been awhile so I decided to post my progress so far. I have the drive train off the chassis and I have started to remove a lot of the po;s snow plow reinforcement add on's. 4 cutoff disc's later I got this. Only thing to survive was the L beam that the po has welded inside the frame, that i can't get to with the grinder. Two options are get a die grinder/air chisel in there or cut it flush with the frame and leave it.

Hello again guy/gals. Just doing a bit of updating. Since my last post I have removed the engine,almost accidentally recycled my original aluminium master cylinder.I pooped open my T-90 transmission to find of my low/reverse gear has been worn away.Found out that I have a 12V I.C.M. CO Generator build in Montreal Canada. And I think that the king pin stud nuts have actually rusted away to nothing.

Hello again everyone got my tub off this week. Finally got to do a proper frame inspection. Found one bad spot on the driver side rear horn. Found a newer master brake cylinder and that I have a 12 V generator made in Quebec Canada. Luck was on my side and found my starter nut I had lost in Feb just siting on the frame, even after moving it on a trailer and about 30 km's.

Looks like the draw bar or rear bumper aren't very salvageable. Plus I think I need new shocks lol.

Question is there suppose to be the two holes in the V-member and the last support cross member?

Thx everyone so far for the welcoming. Yes that is a pulley on the tail gate. They cut the hole for it and put a peice of round stock in the tailgate lip, luckily it's not welded in.

Hello everyone. I recently bought a 1949 CJ-3A and 1942 MB from a gentlemen 4 hours away. Now that the snow finally mostly gone, I have brought my first project home. She's missing quiet a bit of parts, but I do believe with a little hard work and some help from you guys I can get her fixed. As you can see a lot of her tub has been replaced, and she has been at least 3 colours over the years.[reason]Trying to change the subject as asked[/reason]
