I forgot about that! I'll check it when we bring it back from Playboy.

We took it the way it was/is. It still has pedal and can be driven short distances, but it will still need to be made right. That will come in the very near future because it is going to get some use and possibly generate some income for the Museum :-D. Any luck on finding the info you were...

OK, here are some pics of the finished project. I had a camera issue, but a couple of guys have some pics they'll send me with the engine stuff and some in between things. There was a total of 250 = or - hours in the project.

I'll get the numbers later this week. As for the gasket material, i've seen the blue stuff, but we used what was in stock in the Museums parts warehouse. Some of youse guys out west should find some time to stop in there. There is an AMAZING amount of stuff there. After I pulled the hydravac out...

Thanks!

I flipped the rears up, just had them down 'cause it was raining and I didn't want to hit my head everytime I walked by it with them up :wink: Do you know the p/n and make of the upgraded hydravac unit? The throttle has already been converted to a morse cable, I have heard nightmare stories...

Well, it's been a bit, but we started wrenching on the M8. Pulled the wheels and drums off, all the wheel cylinders are leaking. Disassembled one axles worth, 4 cylinders, all have water contamination. We looked at the records kept on the unit, as far back as the early 90's there has been brake...

Tried search...about as fruitful as the old site or any other search feature...no offence Mike, I just can't finger them out! We are gonna do brakes on an M8 at the museum. The wheel cylinders have an old style piston in them that has the cup on the outdide of and aluminum piston...that's how I...
