Here is what came back
The package I mailed to you just returned as “non deliverable”. Is there another address?
I think you are correct. At least on my 56 The split is at the master cylinder under driver seat. When my master cylinder went out I had to...
Send me you address and I will mail it. It will take some work on the threads but if they sell the flare sets you should be able to make it work....
I looked extensively for the bolt. In the end, another member was able to provide me one they had sitting in a shelf. Very lucky to have found...
Thanks. I was trying to find the female thread count. Thought it was 20 but 24 is the standard? So hard with the thread being so messed up.
Ok. Question: If one is 24tpi and the other is 20tpi will they thread together? I have not had to do this before Thanks
I think that’s what I have to do. Need to buy a tap/die set. I may also need to look at the thread on the male end. It says 1/4” inverted...
I am working on it. Learning a ton every time I make a post
Looks like it. Tried to find the exact specs on it. Thank you
It’s always something
Maybe I didn’t pay close enough attention. I will check all those possibilities. I think the bolt has an inverted flare. I am not familiar with...
It’s what was on it when I removed it from the master cylinder. Probably a “fix” someone did long ago. Thanks for the reply. Just another...
Looking now. Thank you
It is pretty fouled up inside, maybe why it was so hard to get apart. I don’t have a thread chaser or tap. I will look into them. Thank you
I have hit Autozone/NAPA/ a specialty fluid systems place and looked online. Thanjs
Thank you. I only found it in India. Wasn’t sure about ordering from there
Hello, I am having an impossible Time locating a 1/2x 20 hole head banjo bolt. I am replacing the rear brake line in a 56 chevy truck the fitting...
Hello I am seeking any information on where I can find a hole head banjo bolt for my brake line master cylinder on a 56 chevy 3200. I had to...
Yep. I was having yet another brain fart when I thought I could do that. Since I added a new crossmember, I should be able to cut the old one? Or...
Thanks. I believe I can jack up the trans and unbolt the new crossmember. I wasn’t even thinking about that. So glad I didn’t cut it. Phew. A...
Hello, Once again I find myself seeking advise on my 56 Chevy truck. After replacing the motor, transmission and dealing with a sensitive starter...
Hey Chris, Thanks for the input. Funny you mentioned the NSS wire seeming to be too small gauge for the job. I noticed that as well. Again,...
So, I purchased a metal heat shield for the starter. It did not cure my issue. I drove the truck about 15 miles and parked for 40 minutes....
I have power to my electric engine fan, lights, turn signals. It’s just nothing at the starter. I had to install a new neutral safety switch...
I appreciate the info on the wiring. I will pull the stretch from the starter button to the starter. It’s a direct run and easy to get to. The...
Here is what I have. I had to remove the pedal starter and added a push button starter on the column where the old shifter linkage went through....
It does seem to only happen at high temps but I will continue to monitor that. When I doesn’t start I get nothing when I hit the ignition. There...
Well, apparently it wasn’t the ground contact to the frame. I went for a drive and everything went great. I stopped and went into a store for 20...
I believe I found my issue. Looks like a bad contact from my ground to my frame. I ground the point of contact down and have not had another...
