Are you going to have a follow-up on this like on the master cylinder to see how that's all mounted and to remove the residual valve in the master cylinder itself?

I'm doing the brake conversion on my 64 Studebaker. I'm thinking couldn't. We just use three spindle washers instead of that contraption on the end. That would still work, wouldn't it?

I’m in the exact situation. It sat for a long time, and have been renovating and renewing things. Started with the fuel tank, fuel lines then ignition. Just finished doing all new brakes, everything new up front and the rear just the rotors are the original but still have to redo all the brake lines, might need to rebuild the booster. Do you think it’s ok, good or better to use copper lines than stainless steel?

There is no cable, it's a 1.5" wide chain on rollers and the single chain goes under a steel plate on the floor and up the opposite side.

Probably a plugged steel line, I'd do the roto rooter treatment to it with a cordless drill and a length of old speedo cable. Just disconnect the rubber tube from the tank then feed the rotating cable into the tank till the obstruction is cleared. Don't run the direction reverse as the cable will unravel.

I am currently finishing up restoration of my 1970 Honda n600 that has been sitting for 30 years. The engine was rebuilt by Bill Colford 30 years ago and has about 1000 miles on the engine. I still have wiring to deal with and finishing up on a complete brake overhaul. Hope to have it on the road in a few months. It was inspiring to see this video and see this engine running again. Thanks for the inspiration.
