Re: Dual Master Cylinder

[wally breer <wbreer@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Rich
               This is not related to the brake problem but I've got a hard
time picturing a
BMC 1300,was it an Austin based car? We had all kinds of stuff imported
here(Canada)
everthing from Austin Cambridges,Austin America 1100 ,
the Austin 2200  ,MG's ,Oxfords, Triumph TR series and Spitfire,Sprites ,
Hillman Minx ,the Mini, Hillman Avenger (Plymouth Cricket) and I worked on
quite a bit of it . The climate just plain did these cars in, so you'd be
hard pressed to find anything now. The whole BMC became a laughing stock in
the seventies .The TR7 was kind of the last hurrah and the car car was
plagued with problems ,mostly electrical and body.
Even the XJ series  Jaguars had a hard time surviving and I'd be surprised
to find one (if not rusted badly) still running with its original
powerplant, as the small block chevy was the replacement engine of choice.
I'm not sure how well connected the hobby is in Austrailia but do you know
Bruce Cresswell, I'm amazed at his 63 Dodge website.
Is your Dodge right hand drive and does it used the Valiant Dashboard?
