My '54 M37

The bucket is no longer needed as I no longer have a leaking radiator.

Thanks Ugg. She runs real nice and quiet. The only real dissapointing thing about her is the left rear brake leaks, and if I pump the pedal a few times it seems to have brake pressure until the next time I go to push on the pedal. Also, the instruments don't work except for the battery gauge.

Note: It was converted to 12 volt. :(

Milsurp:

Just minor issues. Just rip all the wires out from under the dash and start fresh, and get ya an anvil as an anchor (either that or get a good friend to drive in front of you to act as brakes). 8>)

Sounds like you've got a bad wheel cylinder, same as what I had happen. Time to replace it .

[Milsurp]

Nick, when you did replace the wheel cylinder did it remedy the problem? Or did you have to tear into it further?

Brakes...

It solved my leakage problem, but unfortunately my master cylinder seems to have since gone south. Soon as I get some cash I'm gonna have to replace that.

Master update...

I recently replaced my master, and all wheel cylinders(over Xmas holiday). Brakes are working pretty well now.
