Cold & rainy
I decided to look at the brakes on my 71 today. I've had some minor issues with them so I figured today was as good as any to look at them.
The pedal had way more play than I like so I got to looking at it. It had some play in the pin that hooks to the master cylinder rod. I started by taking the booster loose from the bracket and placed 2 washers on the bottom 2 bolts and 1 washer on the top 2. This took the play out of it completely. I didn't get to drive it yet it's pouring down raining so that will happen later. I then decided to paint the master cylinder so I cleaned it up good then used the black caliper paint. Man what a big difference it made. I may paint the top red but I think it would be worthless after putting the hold downs on a few times.
