crenwelge,
I, too, am from that age, and from that remote ranch. I picked up a few snap rings (what the store had in stock), and will look over the old push/bend things. Some are reusable.
I never thought of up-grading to Bendix. Probably a good idea, but I have the Hucks, now, and they will last a long time. They may out-last me.
I have been honing the master, and it is currently about 18 thousandths over. The piston with rubber almost falls through. I got a brain storm that chroming them might be the answer. Both shops in town have stop the chroming process, and I was told that it would cost as much as a new mc.
I will compare prices, and order one. Too much time wasted already.
