Have a leaky master cylinder in the 51. Have the one that came out of a 50 on the shelf. I know the brakes changed from Huck to Bendix in 51. Are the master cylinders the same? If they are, thought I'd rebuild the one I already have out, then swap them out. Thanks, and have a great day.

Pete | | | | | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 7 | That was a good idea. Went to the Autozone website and looked up both rebuild kits. Also showed pictures. Different part numbers, and parts were different in the pics. Oh well, just a thought.

You are right. After checking, the 50 cylinder has a 1 inch bore, the 51 has a 1 1/8 inch bore. A guy can find out a lot if he'll just take the time to use a little common sense and look. Bob | | |
