I bought two new County Brand MCs in possibly a misquided effort to save
moola. To woorsen things, I took off both adapters from both MC's, and hid
them from myself. (Do others do this?) I've written the place that I bought
these two new County MCs and asked if he could sell me new adapters, but he
said "no".
As you may know, I've ordered new SS brake lines from Classic Tube. (gee,
I didn't think to ask them if they could help? does anyone think that might
help?)
Of course, the two adapters from both MCs yield a total of four adapters
in all. Two of them 'adapt' the line to the reservoir (I think 3/8-24). The
other two 'adapt' the long brake line down to the 5-way or it's RPV valve, and
also to the clutch slave cylinder (I think the threads on those are 7/16-20).
Really, I am unaware of why these 'adapters' are necessary, but I assume their
necessary to accept the correct flare (double-flare?). Each adapter only
stood an inch or two and was screwed into the Master Cylinder. I am unsure if
the original Girling Brand Master Cylinders ever required 'adapters'.
Does anyone have 4 of these things laying around? Or possibly know their
size so that I might order them from somewhere? Where? Oh yeah, I've also
taken off (and proably lost) my 5-way's RPV valve and I've recently learned it
should be reused. Maybe just it's shell reused? Maybe you'd like to sell me
these things, that's ok too.
Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
