I'll sorta be glad when this thread gets resolved and moves on down the feed. Everytime I see it in my email, I can't help but think of Ronald MCDonald going piss and taking a MCLeak.

The real question is: is Ronald's a JB1 or a JB3 ???????

JB3 for power brakes and 1" rotors. JB1 is manual brakes.

JB1 it is.

I've ordered the master cylinder from Rockauto. It'supposed to arrive before the weekend. I'm going to do a complete system flush, because the fluid hasn't been changed in the 9-10 years I've owned it, and it sat in the field for 7-8 years. Might change out the rubber hoses while I'm at it.

Smart thing to do.

Took about 1.5 -2 hours but I got it done. I didn't change out the hoses as they checked out pretty decent. The old brake fluid was really black.
