Well I've making progress on the brake job. The fitting on the end of my master cyclinder that all the lines connect to has one hole stripped out. It's brass, Anyone have one?
Going to wear out my pickup running for parts, now I know why the last owner never finished the brake job.
Thanks

 

Can't tell from the pic. Does it look like this?



If so, Chuck's Trucks carries it.

It doesn't say in Chuck's catalog what models that fits. The correct P/N is 7RT-2076

 

Good point. I bought mine from Chuck, be he knows I have an F4.

 

I'll have to look out in the barn tomorrow, but I think I have one, still new, never used. I think I paid about $25 for it.

 

That looks close to it, but I think mine has 4 lines. It's still on the truck. Be later today before I get back to my shop
Thanks Guys for all the help. Dennis

 

I have been having a similar problem in finding brake parts for my 350.My master cylinder looks quite similar to that one. However it has a hole in the rubber so needs to be replaced. . The brakes went out on me the other day. I am trying to upgrade to front power disc brakes. However since I want to keep the 8 lug wheels its been nearly impossible to find them.

 

My outlet block has 5 brake lines going to it and they are all 1/4" (7/16 x 24 thread)

 

Are you including the brake light switch in that count? I can't think why they'd have a line per wheel, let alone a 5th line (unless it is for a trailer brake or something?)

This is shown as "typical" in the parts CD

 

Yes it has 5, the brake light switch goes in the end of the bolt the attaches the block to master cylinder
2 lines to booster 1 rear brakes 1 left frt 1 r frt

 

Looking at your picture it appears you have two fittings on the end of the MC. I don't see how you can have lines to each brake circuit AND to/from the booster? How could the booster function if its at the same pressure as the MC? Is it bypassed?

 

Ross, the fluid goes from the MC to the booster, then back to the 'manifiold, where it goes to the various wheels.

 

Pretty trick! That's definitely not the 7RT-2076

 

The picture I posted is not mine, I just posted it for general ideal of what I was talking about

 

Harley that pic is the one I have, the one from booster is the one I have stripped, if I have too I can plug that one, run both frt wheels off one and run the booster to a different one.
