My master cylinder has a plastic cap. I want to order a new one and I see that you can get plastic or metal ones. If mine has a plastic one should I stick with plastic? My old man says he's never seen a plastic cap on the AD (ND) trucks. Thanks.

OE was metal with a 3/4" square. Plastic is an aftermarket replacemnt. Either will be fine.

The original OEM also has a small pinhole for venting purposes don't know if that makes a difference?

I'm glad to hear they were metal. The plastic one has a fin on top to aid in removeal, its been busted off and it looks like a P.O. used a screwdriver to unscrew the cap. I can't see replaceing a cheap part with another cheap part. Thanks.

The replacement cover may be "metal" but it's not cast iron metal like the original ones were.
Add those to the other repop parts that ended up in the field out back of the barn!

A good and proper cap (and master cylinder for a 41).

kingisomer,

Looks good.

What kind of cast-iron paint did you use?
